YMCA Camp Hi-Rock Opens Doors
Thank you for taking the time to find out more about the financial assistance program at YMCA Camp Hi-Rock. We firmly believe that no participant should be denied the opportunity to experience camp because of an inability to pay for program fees. Please read the instructions below if you are interested in applying for a financial assistance "campership."

YMCA Camp Hi-Rock is able to offer a quality, traditional camp experience at a reasonable price because of contributions made during our Strong Kids Campaign, which is our annual support campaign. The funds we raise go directly towards the funding of all youth programs at Camp Hi-Rock, and also helps us maintain a strong financial assistance program. Please consider contributing to this effort to help us continue our mission to build spirit, mind and body for all.

Financial Assistance Instructions

• Interested applicants should fill out and submit the Campership Application, which includes a registration form (all forms are available at the Forms page.)
• Applicants whose campers live in Brooklyn should fill out our Brooklyn-specific Brooklyn Campership Application.
• Regardless of the amount of assistance you are hoping to receive, all application materials must be completed. Documentation of family income MUST be submitted with all forms. Please read the application materials for guidelines as to acceptable forms of documentation. Applications without sufficient documentation cannot be considered.
• A portion of our financial assistance program is supported by a partnership with Summer Camp Opportunities Provide an Edge (SCOPE) of NY. Part of our financial assistance application consists of forms tailored to their program. In order to be considered for financial assistance, please carefully follow all instructions and contact us if you require help.
• Once we receive your application, we will contact you by mail, either to request further documentation, or to send a campership offer with finalized assistance information and payment details. Campership offers will only be sent once all application information has been received. In order to reserve a spot at camp for your camper, this offer must be signed and returned with any required deposit. Camp Hi-Rock will not be able to ensure a space for your camper at camp until we receive this written acceptance of the campership, along with the initial deposit.

Notes

• The more complete your application, the more quickly and thoroughly we will be able to assist your family.
• Because camp sessions fill quickly, applications received after May 1 will only be considered if availability and time permit.
• Please do not make any finalized plans to send your camper to camp until you receive a final campership offer and respond with written acceptance and initial payment.
• Our campership offer is a percentage of camp program fees. Participants may also apply this campership rate towards one week of waterskiing. Camp store deposits and day camp lunches are not included in campership offers.
• The membership fee required to attend YMCA Camp Hi-Rock is waived as part of all financial assistance offers. Transportation is offered at a reduced rate, based on the level of assistance that you receive.
