Financial Assistance

We believe that every child should experience camp!

We are happy that you would like your child to enjoy all that Camp Jewell has to offer. Attending summer camp truly can be an experience that lasts a lifetime. We know that for many families the cost of attending summer camp can be a financial burden that they might not be able to afford. At Camp Jewell YMCA we have four different tiers of pricing for our summer camp program. All except the top tier are subsidized prices. Our fourth tier provides a variable amount of additional financial aid.

To be considered for financial assistance, you must register online and select Tier 4- Financial Assistance. At the end of the process, you will be able to complete the application and upload any required financial documentation. Financial Assistance will be awarded for one session only and not for trading post, or any other fees, so please be aware that any additional camp sessions will be charged at the full camp fee. The amount that you are able to pay toward the program is very important. You should also plan on providing your camper with some spending money in his/her camp bank account for the Trading Post. We recommend a minimum of $50. (The average deposit is about $80.) PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL ANY FINANCIAL AID PAPERWORK TO CAMP.

Please be aware that we do not keep applications from prior years. As such, you must re-apply for financial assistance each year. While you may have received financial assistance previously, that does not automatically ensure that you will be awarded one this year.

Application reviews begin in late January. If we receive your application before March 1st, you may expect a response no later than April 1st. After March 1st, three weeks will be required, but keep in mind that our funds may be depleted or space may be sold out by that time.

If you have received financial assistance in the past and would like to share how the Camp Jewell experience positively impacted the life of your child, please contact us at 860.909.0563 or camp.jewell@ghymca.org.
