Volusia County’s Community Assistance Division, with support from Summit Survey Research, is accepting applications from nonprofit organizations, cities, schools, and churches that want to provide summer camp services for the 2025 summer camp scholarship program.
Participating providers must operate a camp from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday for at least six weeks between June 2 and Aug. 8. Services should include supervised playground activities, sports, crafts, and field trips for children ages 5 to 14. Camps serving primarily special needs children may accept applicants up to age 17.
Camps are encouraged to provide opportunities for healthy eating and physical activity. Applicants must have at least one year of experience facilitating a summer camp program or similar services.
Scholarships will be provided to children whose families are at or below 200% of the current federal poverty guidelines. Providers will be reimbursed per child, based on their attendance, at a rate not to exceed the maximum weekly rate established by Volusia County.
The application is available at www.volusia.org/scs. The deadline to submit completed applications is 11:59 p.m. March 21. Applicants who have not participated in the program previously must attend a training session on March 6 before submitting the application. If you cannot attend the training, contact Kathi Porter at 386-363-3854 or [email protected].
The Children and Families Advisory Board will review and evaluate applications at a meeting in April. The date and time of the meeting will be announced at a later date. Agency representatives are encouraged to attend.
Questions or requests for assistance should be directed to Summit Survey Research at 386-363-3854 or [email protected].
