[January 7, 2026]
The Family Center for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (Family Center) is pleased to announce 2026 Camp Scholarship application packets are now available. Several updates were made to the application:
- Camp scholarships up to $500/per child.
- Applicants can apply every year.
- Multiple applications per family will be accepted.
- Children who are not enrolled in CSHCS, or do not have a CSHCS-eligible diagnosis, are required to submit a letter from their specialty provider verifying their diagnosis/special health care need. This includes children with developmental and/or behavioral conditions.
- Only 10 scholarships per camp will be awarded.
Applications from CSHCS-enrolled and/or eligible children will be accepted beginning January 1, 2026. All other applications will be accepted beginning April 1, 2026, and reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications will be accepted as long as funding is available, and incomplete applications will not be accepted. Camp applications may take 3-4 weeks to process, and families will be notified once their application has been reviewed. Please note that funds are distributed directly to the camp. The Family Center will not reimburse families for a payment already made to a camp, including deposit.
