Day Camp Fees, Financial Aid, & Transportation

Tuition Tiers

In keeping with Frost Valley’s mission to provide summer day camp for all families, tiered pricing was created to serve families with different abilities to pay. All campers receive the same Frost Valley experience, no matter which amount you choose to pay. Simply choose the tier that is most suitable or comfortable for your family.

Four-tier pricing offers an opportunity for you to take an active role in supporting the true cost of your child’s camp experience at Frost Valley. As you consider your family’s financial situation, please also consider the true cost of camp.

In the event that Tier A, B, C, or D* are out of your family’s budget, please contact us about financial aid. Financial assistance can be awarded for up to 2 weeks of camp. We believe every child should have a camp experience. Regardless of the tuition paid, there is no difference in the camp experience for your child!

*Exclusive Local Rate: Only active students who attend school in Grahamsville, Livingston Manor, Margaretville, Ellenville, or Liberty are eligible to pay Tier D prices.

Tier A reflects the overall cost of running camp for each camper, which includes but is not limited to staff training and certifications, equipment and program supplies, routine facility maintenance, depreciation, as well as utilities and insurance and partial offsets for the other tiers. Please pay this tier if you are able to.

Tier B most closely reflects the overall cost of running camp for each camper, which includes but is not limited to staff training and certifications, equipment and program supplies, routine facility maintenance, depreciation, as well as utilities and insurance. Please pay this tier if you are able to.

Tier C is a moderately subsidized rate.

Tier D is a highly subsidized rate for local families.
*Only active students who attend school in Grahamsville, Livingston Manor, Margaretville, Ellenville, or Liberty are eligible to pay Tier D prices.

Financial Aid And Payment Plans

IMPORTANT UPDATE: At Frost Valley YMCA, we believe every child deserves a summer camp experience. However, due to an unprecedented volume of requests this season, we have reached our current funding capacity and must temporarily pause new financial aid applications. We will share updates as soon as more funding becomes available.

The generous support of donors provides financial assistance to individuals who otherwise would not have this life-enhancing opportunity. Without this loyal commitment to our mission, thousands would miss out on the joy of exploring the wilderness, laughing with friends in a cabin, or making memories around a campfire.

If you have specific questions about registration, please contact our registrar at (845) 985-2291, ext. 203, or by email at campership@frostvalley.org to discuss payment plan options.

 


Frost Valley YMCA is a 501 (c) 3 charitable organization, and as such, we rely on the support of our donor community to help provide financial assistance and to continue to advance our programs and services. For more information or to make a gift, please visit www.frostvalley.org/donate
