Rates Remain the same as 2009

“During this uncertain economy, we strongly believe that financial uncertainty should not impact our children’s summer fun,” said Elizabeth Staib-King, the executive director of Camp Tockwogh. “Tockwogh’s honor system was a big success last summer, making it easier for families to receive subsidized tuition for our 2010 camp season.”

The three-tier tuition system is designed to make overnight camp more affordable and accessible. This “honor system” provides families, who do not want to apply for the YMCA’s needs-based financial aid, an easier way to afford summer camp. The three tiers of tuition will be offered for all sessions of camp.

Unlike a need-based scholarship program, families will not have to complete financial aid forms; they will choose a tier based on their ability to pay. All children will receive the same camp experience, regardless of their tuition tier. Larger scholarships are also available by applying for needs-based financial assistance. We ask that parents who can afford to pay the full tuition do so.
