Eligible youth for summer camp scholarships are those who:

• Are entering kindergarten through 12th grade.
• Have a parent or guardian who works in Teton County, Wyoming.

Eligibility is based on the household’s Median Family Income (up to 120% for county of residence). If your household falls outside these income guidelines but is facing extenuating circumstances, please reach out to us to discuss.

Note: scholarships are structured as cooperative partnerships between One22, the partner program and participating families, with each party providing a contribution toward the cost of the activity.

Median Family Income (MFI) is calculated and updated yearly by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and represents the middle income level for households in a geographical area. For example: in Teton County, Wyoming the income limit for a family of four at 120% MFI is $169,800. 

No, please submit a scholarship application through One22 first. One22 partners with several organizations to offer scholarships for summer camps. Most of these programs hold spaces for YES scholarship recipients. Our YES scholarship application asks you to mark your camp preferences. We will do our best to match preferences.

To apply for a summer camp scholarship, there are four steps you’ll need to complete: 

1. Fill out a summer camp scholarship application online. If you need assistance with completing the application form, please call us at (307) 739-4500.
2. Participate in a one-on-one meeting with a Client Services Coordinator. When we receive your application, a member of our Client Services team will contact you to schedule a meeting time.
3. Prepare necessary documents. The Client Services Coordinator will outline the specifics of necessary documents. Generally, this will include:
   • Proof of household income for the last 60 days
   • Income and expense sheet
     
     Please note: Once household income has been verified, your family will not need to submit additional documentation for future scholarship applications for 12 months, unless economic circumstances change.
     
4. Review and sign the Youth Enrichment Scholarship (YES) participant agreement.

Please see the main Youth Enrichment Scholarships page for a list of current partners.

For entering kindergarten through eighth grade, the summer scholarship program can support up to four weeks of camp or program participation (equivalent to 20 days). For entering ninth through 12th grade, the summer scholarship program will support one week of a camp or program. Scholarships can be applied to day camp and overnight camp.

Except for extenuating emergency circumstances, changes to camp enrollment and camp dates or cancellations will not be made by One22’s Client Services team. Please communicate with the camp directly about enrollment or date changes and possible effects on the scholarship amount. Programs have different policies about changes and cancellations. It is possible that you may still owe the program even if your child does not attend. 

We encourage families to apply as soon as possible, because we cannot guarantee space. We will do our best to make sure every qualifying youth has the opportunity to participate in a program.

Scholarship applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Because we expect that fewer programs will be available by June, we encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

After you submit your application, a member of our Client Services team will contact you to schedule your one-on-one meeting. This meeting includes verifying income information and completing One22’s monthly income and expense sheet. Once your application is complete we will work with our partner programs to determine summer camp placements. After the partner program confirms your camp spot, we will contact you and send you a partnership agreement to sign and return to us.  

Yes, all scholarship youth enrolled in a day camp may receive a healthy packed lunch through our partnership with Hole Food Rescue’s Sprout program. If your child has a food allergy, we ask that you pack a lunch for them. You can indicate if you would like your child to receive lunch in the application form.
