The Palm Beach County Youth Services Department has extended the parent application period for summer camp scholarships through May 7.
The Summer Camp Scholarship Program offers eligible children, ages 5-14 and special populations up to age 17, a full scholarship to day camp for the entire summer. It allows parents to work with the knowledge that their children are safe. It gives children educational and recreational opportunities for growth.
The scholarship includes all tuition and fees for children residing in families with income at or below 150% of Federal Poverty Guidelines. Parents may choose from participating camps in Palm Beach County.
The 2021 Summer Camp Scholarship Program is scheduled to begin on June 21. At this time, the only camp option for summer 2021 will be in-person attendance.
Youth Services Department will offer extended hours to assist with applications on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 7:00 pm throughout the application period
