CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: The YMCA realizes that families have differing abilities to pay and has introduced a voluntary tiered pricing program to enable all families the opportunity for a quality camp experience for their children. This program is voluntary, requires no paperwork, and in no way influences the experience your child receives. Simply choose the rate that is appropriate for your family.
TIER A is based on the full cost of a child participating in camp programs. This rate reflects the actual cost of sending a camper to camp.
TIER B is a partially subsidized rate that will help families that cannot afford the full cost of the camp program.
FAMILY CAMP SESSION(S): Try It Out Camp-Out is held June 8-9, 4 pm-8 am followed by our public Annual Open House. This is the perfect opportunity for first-time campers who could benefit from a practice night at camp with their families. Bring your own tent and pitch in the field or claim a cabin! (Cabins sleep 12). Dinner and breakfast are included. Go online for more information.
