Financial Assistance/Scholarship Applications
At YMCA Camp Cosby, we believe every child deserves the magic of camp! Thanks to the generosity of our donors, cost never stands in the way. Through our Annual Campaign, we offer financial assistance so all campers can join in on the fun, friendship, and adventure. Applications are simple, confidential, and open to everyone – because no child should miss out on the memories that last a lifetime. No application is ever turned away due to the inability to pay.
All Financial Assistance/Scholarship Applications are completed ONLINE as part of the Camper Registration Process in CampinTouch.
