- Sponsorship Request Form- English
- Sponsorship Request Form- Spanish
Important Sponsorship Dates:
April 1st- Sponsorship request forms are due.
April 15th- We will designate sponsorship funds. You will receive notice through email within a few days of this date.
May 15th- All payments are due.

Can I register for camp if I haven’t filled out my sponsorship application yet?
Yes, in almost all cases we request that families pay the initial $100.00 deposit. Therefore, go ahead and register for camp and pay the $100.00 deposit per camper. At checkout, select the payment plan that includes automatic withdrawals, and email or call the office after checkout. Let us know that you intend to apply for aid and we will freeze your account so that no automatic withdrawals happen until your application has been processed and funds have been allocated.

What if I can’t pay the $100.00 deposit?
If a family cannot afford the initial deposit(s), they should contact us at office@stmcenter.com.

For Parishes/Schools Supporting Camp Sponsorships:

The St Thomas More Center offers $20,000 each year in sponsorships. Any additional aid from parishes and schools is greatly appreciated by both CYC and our campers.

Aid options:
        a.) Give funds directly to families to apply towards camp.*

        b.) The parish may purchase CYC Coupons of any amount and quantity. These coupons can be given directly to families to apply at registration. Parishes should contact the office to purchase coupons.

        c.) Parishes can send a check to CYC with names and amounts to be applied to each camper's account.

After May 15th, all payment are due in full.

*We can run reports on any camper for any week to verify that they signed up, how much they paid, and whether they showed up for camp.

There are many parishes throughout the diocese that help sponsor camp and campers. Last year, more than 15 parishes in the Diocese of Des Moines provided some form of sponsorship. Thank you to all those who support CYC!
