Summer Camp Scholarships Open for Palm Beach County Families with Limited Incomes

Beginning Jan. 27, 2025, the Palm Beach County Youth Services Department is accepting parent applications for summer camp scholarships.

The Summer Camp Scholarship Program offers eligible children, ages 5-17, a full scholarship to day camp for the Summer of 2025. It allows parents to work with the knowledge that their children are safe and gives children educational and recreational opportunities for growth. The deadline to submit an application is April 4, 2025.

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 2025 Summer Camp is scheduled to begin on June 2, 2025. At this time, the only camp option for summer 2025 will be in-person attendance.

The Youth Services Department will offer assistance with parent applications Monday - Friday by appointment only during the application period. To make an appointment, please call 561-242-5713.

The Youth Services Department will host eight (8) outreach events at local Palm Beach County Libraries to assist parents and caregivers with submitting their applications. Please see the schedule below and attached for details.
