The Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA) recognizes that children in foster care need to experience the same extracurricular activities as any other child in their peer group. This is especially important during school breaks and the summer months when structured school activities may not be available. Toward that end, the Camp Subsidy Program was developed to provide safe, healthy, and fun alternatives to children during the summer and school breaks. The enrollment process is particularly easy and successful when social workers plan ahead, explore scholarship opportunities, and partner directly with resource parents and the camp-age child to determine the most appropriate choice of camp for the child’s individual needs.
