CAMP’s full fee is $1700. If your Camper has agency funding OR you are unable to afford the full fee, please review the following to see if these options may apply:Respite Funding
If your Camper has funding through a medicaid waiver program (MDCP, CLASS, TxHmL, HCS, DBMD) or other non-waiver agency, you must have your Case Manager submit a letter of authorization to us guaranteeing payment of the full camp fee. Authorizations should be faxed to (210) 671-5244.Scholarship Tier
If your Camper does not receive funding, you can use the Scholarship Tier payment option to reduce the full fee. You will need to submit your 2020 IRS 1040 tax form along with corresponding W-2’s to complete the program requirements.- If your household received no taxable income for 2019 then download the “Statement of Non Taxable Income.” Complete the form, and then submit it with supporting documentation and payment (unless paid online).
- Foster Families – If your Camper has been placed in foster care by DFPS, then download the “Foster Parent Worksheet” and follow instructions on that form. Submit the form with payment.
- Additional financial assistance is available by following directions within the application, once it becomes available.
