About the Anne Shore Sleep-Away Summer Camp Benefit

Applying is simple! Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Apply online by January 31
  • Review the Participating Camp Providers List to explore your camp and session options.
  • Select four different camp and session preferences that interest your child. (Your fourth priority selection will be made from an abbreviated list of camps with the most available spots.)
  • Submit your application via MyAccount by January 31.
Step 2: Camp placement
  • Placements are distributed based on member benefit history and Union seniority, with priority given to first-time applicants.
  • When space and budget allow, additional children from a family may be accepted.
  • You’ll be notified of your child’s placement status in March.
Step 3: Submit the administrative fee
  • A $50-per-child administrative fee secures your child’s spot.
  • Payment is due by the last Friday in April.
  • If you decide not to participate, the fee is refundable until that same deadline.
Step 4: Enroll With your child’s camp
  • Once placed, contact your assigned camp right away to complete their enrollment process.
  • Each camp has its own forms and requirements. Be sure to complete the camp’s enrollment process by the last Friday in April.
Step 5: Get ready for camp!

Your child will pack up and head off to their camp for an unforgettable summer of fun, growth and new friendships. Families tell us that they have an amazing experience!

Step 6: After camp
  • We’ll ask you to complete a short survey. Your feedback helps us to keep improving the program.
  • According to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules and regulations, this is a taxable benefit. You’ll be provided with a Form W-2 in January of the following year for the tuition amount paid on your child’s behalf.
