    Summer Day Camp

    For Ages 3 – 17

    Get your children out of the house and into the great outdoors! Register them for Summer Day Camp (SDC). Find a camp that’s close to where you live and work by searching the directory of Child Care Fund Service Providers. If you live outside of the greater New York metropolitan area, see the Summer Day Camp Reimbursement program. There is a co-payment for this program based on a sliding fee scale.

    Summer Day Camp Sliding Fee Scale

    This scale considers your income and number of children. To calculate your total co-payment, find your weekly co-payment on the scale based on your annual salary and number of children under age 18, and then multiply it by the number of weeks of camp that your child will attend. For example, if your child is enrolled for 8 weeks of camp and your co-payment is $15 per week, your total co-payment will be: 8 x $15 = $120.
