Financial Assistance Helps Children Attend Camp
Our financial assistance can offer children the opportunity to attend some AMAZING camps for very little money.
Each year PVAS uses proceeds from our fall birdseed sale and donations from individual sponsors to provide financial assistance to area children so that they can attend summer camp. Berkeley Community Pride and local garden clubs also often provide financial assistance to campers.
Assistance applications for day and overnight camps are accepted until early April. The Financial Assistance Committee meets soon after that date to consider all applications at one time. All persons who apply for camp assistance will be notified about the status of their application by the end of April. If you have questions, contact Mary Etta Boesl (meboesl@yahoo.com).
You Can Support Our Financial Assistance Funds
