Financial Assistance Application

 At Sixth Avenue Community Development Corporation, we believe every child deserves access to safe, enriching, and joyful summer experiences. Because of generous donors and partners, camp is offered at a reduced rate compared to the true cost of $1,200 per child.


To serve as many families as possible, we offer additional limited need-based scholarships. Financial aid will typically be awarded as partial scholarships, rather than full awards, so that available funds can help more children. Families are asked to share what they are able to contribute toward weekly tuition, even if that amount is small. 


 Scholarship award notifications will be emailed in mid-April and are contingent upon the availability of funds. 

Financial Aid Applicaiton Opens February 27, 2026

2024 Summer at the Sixth Parent

Ten years ago...I was exhausted and out of options. That summer at Sixth Avenue changed everything. My son was finally understood. His gifts were embraced instead of managed. Today he is in 8th grade with a 4.0. I credit that pivotal summer for his path to success.
