2027 dates posted; financial assistance applications available with enrollment; scholarship approval and camp openings unconfirmed

YMCA Camp Hi-Rock in Mount Washington, Massachusetts offers income-based campership assistance for its 2027 overnight youth summer camp, with a special funding source that prioritizes eligible military and veteran families. IMPORTANT APPLICATION INSTRUCTION: military and veteran families should explicitly identify themselves as such in the ordinary campership application, because there is no separate military-family application. Families apply through the normal enrollment portal and provide household-income documentation. General financial assistance may also be available to first-responder families. Camp is for ages 7–16 and runs June 27–August 21, 2027, with two-week sessions and selected one-week sessions. Published early-bird rates may change; financial assistance is based on household size/income and is not guaranteed. The executive director also described a separate Massachusetts Army National Guard partnership camp, but its contract has not been renewed or finalized, so it is NOT advertised or listed as a confirmed 2027 program
