Summer Camp Financial Assistance Program
The City of Palm Bay Recreation Department is now accepting applications for financial assistance for our 2026 Summer Camp Programs. Financial aid is available for eligible Palm Bay residents and may provide up to 50% off weekly camp fees per child.
All families interested in financial assistance must complete the official application and submit all required documentation before registering for camp. Applications must be fully completed, including a signed original form and all supporting documents, in order to be reviewed and processed.
Financial assistance packets can be submitted beginning April 1, 2026. Please allow 3–5 business days for review and approval. Applicants will be notified once their application has been processed.
If approved, participants will still need to register and pay for each week of camp to secure their child’s spot. Approval for financial assistance does not automatically enroll your child in camp.
For those approved and ready to make payment, staff may assist with registration prior to the general registration date of April 20.
To apply, families must provide required documentation, which may include proof of residency, identification, income verification, and applicable eligibility documents such as EBT, free/reduced lunch status, or income qualification through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
Completed applications and supporting documents must be submitted in person at your selected camp location (Ted Whitlock Community Center or Tony Rosa Community Center).
Incomplete applications will not be processed.
