Financial Assistance

At Camp Immokalee, we’re committed to ensuring every child has the opportunity to experience the magic of camp, regardless of financial circumstances. Thanks to the support of donors and the YMCA of Florida’s First Coast, we offer financial assistance to make camp accessible for all.

How to Apply

Applying for financial assistance is simple and confidential. You can apply for assistance for all our camp programs, including summer camp, day camp, and seasonal programs. Once you receive your financial assistance award, email us at cimmokalee@fcymca.org so we can apply it to your account.

To apply, submit:

  • A completed financial assistance application
  • Your most recent tax return or a letter of non-filing status
  • Your most recent W-2
  • Two of your most recent pay stubs
  • Documentation of any additional sources of income (child support, social security, etc.)
  • A personal letter explaining your need for assistance

Who Should Apply?

We encourage you to apply if:

  • Your family has experienced recent financial hardships such as job loss, illness, or unexpected expenses
  • You are a single parent, on a fixed income, or managing other financial stressors like child support or medical bills
  • You need extra help to make camp affordable for your child

If financial assistance still doesn’t make camp possible, please reach out to Allison Krabill, Associate Vice President at akrabill@fcymca.org for additional support.

Additional Discounts

We also offer:

  • Military Discounts: Learn more and apply on our Military Outreach page.
    • Due to funding, military discounts are only available for summer camp—not seasonal programs.
  • First Coast YMCA Staff Discounts: 50% off for one week of camp for full-time employees, and 25% off for part-time employees.

Confidential Review Process

All applications are reviewed confidentially, and we assess each family’s needs to ensure no child is turned away due to inability to pay. All information provided is kept private and used solely for assessing financial aid eligibility.
