Financial Assistance

Get Financial Aid to Attend Camp!

The YMCA will not turn anyone away because of an inability to pay the entire fee. Because of the generosity of hundreds of people in the Valley of the Sun area, we are able to offer more than 350 sponsorships. If you know a family that needs help to attend camp, please fill out the Financial Assistance Application located below and mail to YMCA Camping Services 5725 S. Senator Hwy., Prescott, AZ 86303. If you are unable to print the forms, please call and request the Financial Assistance Application at 1-800-660-1385.

We look forward to meeting you this summer and helping you have the experience that lasts a lifetime.
