Financial Assistance
We believe that every child should have an opportunity to attend summer camp. Thanks to funds raised through the Y’s Best Friends annual fundraising campaign, we’re able to offer financial assistance to families in need. Please return the Financial Assistance Application by June 1, 2013. Please keep in mind that in order to offer the camp experience to as many children as possible, we’re only able to offer each child two weeks of financial assistance for camp.
