Financial Assistance

Here’s everything you need to know about the support available to make camping with the Goats and Bear Nation possible for all fathers and daughters.

Dream Catcher Scholarship

As a mission-driven nonprofit organization, the YMCA is committed to serving our community. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive, which is why we provide financial aid through our ACCESS scholarship program. The scholarship reduces the cost of membership fees, program fees and child care services offered by the YMCA of San Diego County.

The Dream Catcher Scholarship is exclusively available to Ecke Adventure Club families to help ensure that no child misses out on the magic of camping due to financial hardship. If your family needs support to attend an upcoming campout, we’re here for you.

To learn more about the Dream Catcher scholarship, please reach out to Tim Stong at tstong@ymcasd.org.
