CLARYVILLE — In addition to its tiered pricing, Frost Valley YMCA has expanded its Financial Assistance for all families registering their children for Day Camp. The Administration of Frost Valley YMCA has implemented this expansion for the Financial Assistance program to further assist families that have been negatively impacted by the current economic climate, namely the inflation crisis. Frost Valley YMCA wants to ensure that children from all socio-economic backgrounds have the opportunity to spend their summer attending Day Camp, building lifelong skills, abilities, and friendships, and discovering their full potential.
The old rubric was reevaluated and revised to reflect the current needs of the families looking for financial assistance. Frost Valley YMCA updated its rubric for all families based on several factors, including average income for families from New York State, as well as what is currently defined as a living wage, and the poverty line for the geographic region.
Frost Valley YMCA, believes every child deserves a summer camp experience. That is why they offer financial aid – or “camperships” to families who apply. The generous support of donors provides financial assistance to individuals who otherwise would not have this life-enhancing opportunity. Without this loyal commitment to their mission, thousands would miss out on the joy of exploring the wilderness, laughing with friends in a cabin, or making memories around a campfire.
Anyone interested in applying for Financial Assistance is encouraged to contact Frost Valley’s Registrar’s Office as soon as possible since spaces fill up quickly. For more information visit frostvalley.org/for-all, call 845-985-2291 ext. 203 or email campregistration@frostvalley.org.
