Camper Subsidy
Camp Yowochas is committed to making the camp experience accessible to all children, regardless of financial circumstances. Through the Campership Subsidy Fund, we offer financial assistance to families who may need help covering the full fees for summer camp, ensuring every child has the opportunity to build confidence, make memories, and explore the outdoors.
This program is sustained through the generous support of donors like you. When registering, please consider donating to the Campership Subsidy Fund to help more kids experience the joy of camp. For more information on how you can support, please contact our office.

CONSIDER A DONATION TO THE CAMPERSHIP SUBSIDY PROGRAM
“I’m a single mom who has a young boy who has attended Yowochas Summer Camp for 2 years now and we’re hoping to get approved for another year of subsidy. This program is so important to us. Being a mom, I know my son needs male interaction and social skills, which he gains at Yowochas. Without subsidy I would not be able to do this on my own! This Camp means EVERYTHING to my son and he looks forward to it every year. Each year I see more growth in my son, he’s becoming a person with Independence, team building skills and overall peace in his eyes, and as his mom this means the world to me.”
“Dear Camp Yowochas, camping for my granddaughter has made her more social with others and she’s benefited from safe play and bonding. She loves the camp counsellors and talks about her experience year round, she is so excited about every summer, just knowing that camp is a part of the summer break. For myself as a single grandparent raising her, this is an important part of allowing her the time for a break from routine. Without the camper subsidy program this would not be possible, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so very much!”
