Summer Camp Scholarship Program Releases Camp Extension Directory

Palm Beach County Youth Services Department’s Summer Camp Scholarship Program has selected 29 in-person camps to remain under the program while extending their operation dates to accommodate childcare needs until Palm Beach County schools begin on Aug. 31.

In-person camps will provide a minimum of six daily programming hours and will operate through Aug. 28, with state, county and CDC guidelines related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Summer Camp Scholarship Program is only available to current scholarship recipients. For parents whose current camp is not listed on the Summer Camp Extension Directory, contact Jacqueline Burke and request a one-time camp transfer by phone at (561) 242-5700 or via e-mail at YSD-Summercamp@pbcgov.org.
