Financial Aid

2010 Camp Season

Dear Parent/Guardian:

Thank you for your interest in the Camper Assistance Fund for Catholic Youth Camp. This financial aid is possible through CYC’s generous donors. The fund varies by year depending upon donations re-ceived. Financial aid is available for the cost of camp only, up to 50% of camp fees. CYC is unable to fully fund campers. $100 is due per camper with application for financial aid. Financial Aid applications are due by April 30, 2010. CYC will notify all applicants of their determinations by May 15, 2010. If the awarded amount is insufficient for your camper to attend, please notify the CYC office by June 1, 2010, and the $100 deposit will be refunded. All camp fees must be paid prior to attendance at camp. If payment arrangements are not honored, you will lose the amount already paid. Financial aid cannot be combined with any other discount.

Please follow these steps in requesting financial assistance:

1. Fill out the enclosed Financial Assistance Application.
2. Complete a Registration form (enclosed) for each child wanting to attend camp in your household. Online registration is not available to those requesting financial aid.
3. Return the completed Financial Assistance Application and Registration forms along with $100 per camper to the CYC office before April 30, 2010.
4. Consider a payment plan to offset some of the costs. Payment arrangements can be determined with the Camp Registrar.
5. Help your child(ren) send copies of the enclosed donation request letter to family, friends, your par-ish, businesses, and other community organizations (Knights of Columbus, Lions, Kiwanis, Rotary, etc.). The letter describes CYC and asks for a contribution toward your camp fees. E-mail the CYC office at office@cycamp.org if you would like an electronic copy of the letter for personalization purposes. Donors should fill out, detach, and send the donation form included on the letter to CYC, making sure to note your camper’s name and the amount they wish to contribute. All donations are tax deductible and can be made by cash, check or credit card.

If you have questions regarding our financial aid policies or would like to discuss your situation further, please contact the Executive Director Natalie King or Camp Registrar Julie Strahan at (651) 636-1645 or office@cycamp.org

We look forward to having your child join us for camp this summer!

Sincerely,
Natalie King Executive Director
