 Scholarships
Does paying for your child’s summer camp
experience seem like an impossible task? Hopefully we can ease your
financial worries.
It is part of the Colorado Youth Program’s mission
to provide children from lower-income families the opportunity to
experience its Mountain Summer Camp. Full tuition for CYP Mountain
Summer Camp is $1,100 per camper. However, in an effort to make camp
affordable for children from all economic backgrounds, CYP provides
numerous scholarships that reduce the cost of tuition significantly.
The different scholarship rates are based on income levels from the
2007 Area Median Income (AMI) for Boulder County, Colorado, where CYP's
office and Camp Tahosa are located.
The Colorado Youth Program strives to have no
child turned away because of financial matters, but there are a limited
number of spaces and scholarships available. This means that simply
because you qualify for a scholarship, you may not necessarily receive
one. The scholarhsips will be filled first come, first served—we are
expecting camp to fill quickly this year!
To use the sliding tuition scale: Select the
number of people in your family, then follow that column down until you
find your family income level for 2007. Next, follow the row of your
family income back to the left. The lowest scholarship tuition for
which you qualify is in the far left column.
