Youth Services Department 2024 Summer Camp Scholarship Program Parent Applications Now Open
The Palm Beach County Youth Services Department is accepting parent applications for summer camp scholarships until April 12, 2024.
The Summer Camp Scholarship Program offers eligible children, ages 5-17, a full scholarship to day camp for the entire summer. It allows parents to work with the knowledge that their children are safe and gives them educational and recreational growth opportunities. The Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners and Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County fund the scholarships.
The scholarship includes all tuition and fees for children residing in families with income at or below 185% of federal poverty guidelines. Parents may choose from participating camps in Palm Beach County.
The 2024 Summer Camp Scholarship Program is scheduled to begin on June 3. Currently, in-person attendance is the only camp option for summer 2024.
Youth Services will offer extended hours to assist with parent applications on Tuesdays and Thursdays, by appointment only, until 7 pm throughout the application period and will hold four outreach events.
