Day Care Assistance
The Erie County Department of Social Services provides Day Care Assistance to eligible families. To be eligible, families must have at least one working parent, and must fall within certain income guidelines. Based on those guidelines, your day care subsidy will cover either all or a portion of the cost of camp. Those families eligible to receive assistance may apply their day care subsidy toward the cost of our summer camp program. To do so, parents should submit a copy of their approval letter and their day care subsidy number with their child’s summer camp application.
