Generosity of camp parents funds camperships

 

We at the Mission Bay Aquatic Center would like to thank all the families who have pitched in an extra few dollars each to collectively make a big difference for campers in need. When registering for spot at The Watersports Camp, parents have the option to make a small donation to fund camperships for kids who may not otherwise have had the opportunity to participate. So far, 56 families have generously made donations and have raised enough money for two full camperships which can be distributed as a whole, or can be broken down to partial camperships to fund more families based on financial need. Information on how to apply for a campership is available at http://www.watersportscamp.com/rates.htm#camperships. Funds are allocated on a slide scale set by the YMCA of San Diego.
