The Family Center for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs is pleased to announce the launch of the 2025 Camp Scholarship Program with exciting updates to better support families! This year, we have increased the scholarship amount from $350 to $500 per child, ensuring more children have access to enriching camp experiences.
Families can now apply for scholarships every year, with multiple applications per family being accepted. However, each individual camper will remain eligible for funding every other year. Additionally, children who are not enrolled in Children’s Special Health Care Services (CSHCS) or do not have a CSHCS-eligible diagnosis must submit a letter from a specialty provider verifying their diagnosis or special health care need, including those with developmental or behavioral conditions.
Applications will open January 1, 2025, and will be accepted as long as funding is available. Please note that a maximum of 10 scholarships per camp will be awarded. We encourage you to share this opportunity with families who may benefit. The application packet is available for download on the CSHCS website.
For more information or assistance, please contact Jane Pilditch at PilditchJ2@michigan.gov or call the Family Phone Line at 800-359-3722. Thank you for your continued support in helping families access valuable resources for their children!
