📸 Age Requirements

Classes are designed for the ages listed and are based on the grade the camper will be entering at the beginning of the Fall 2026 school year. Middle school camps are for students entering 6th-8th grade. High school camps are for students entering 9th-12th grade.

📸 Food & Lunches

Youth in Focus will provide each camper with a light snack and water each morning and afternoon.

Time is allotted for lunch on full-day camps. Campers are responsible for their own lunches. We highly recommend campers bring a lunch as there are limited food vendors in the area. 

📸 Payment

All of our camps are FREE for 2026 thanks to 4Culture! To ensure that we are serving as many students as we can, you will need to confirm your enrollment 4 weeks before camp starts.

📸 Cancellations 

We ask that campers notify staff via email or registration platform as soon as possible if they are unable to attend. This will allow us to serve campers on the waitlist.

To ensure attendance, staff will email each camper 4 weeks prior to camp start date to confirm your enrollment in the camp. If we do not hear back from you within 5 days, we will assume cancellation and provide the camp spot to students on the waitlist.

The camper can be added to the waitlist queue if attendance is confirmed after the 5 day period.
