YMCA Southcoast (YSC) has announced an expansion of their summer camp financial assistance program at Camp Metacomet in Dartmouth — along with five other South Coast locations — to support working families in the region. 

YSC President and CEO James Scherer commented, “Recognizing the overwhelming need in our community, YSC has taken the bold step of expanding our financial assistance program in order to meet the needs of the working families in our community.”

The Y’s branch Executive Directors and Camp Directors are trained to qualify families through income verification and to minimize the amount of time the process requires.

Effective immediately, YMCA Southcoast will offer financial assistance for all 10 weeks of summer camp.

“YSC relies on the support of generous individuals, foundations and businesses who partner with us to provide opportunities for children and families who otherwise could not afford to participate in life-changing programs like summer camp,” said Robyn Branco, Director of Mission Advancement. “The impact of a gift like that can be felt for generations.”
