Catholic Youth Camp wants to make camp available to ALL families. We never want money to be the reason that children cannot attend camp. If you need financial assistance for CYC fees, please fill out the sponsorship request form and mail it to our office or email it to [email protected]

Important Sponsorship Dates: 

Can I register for camp if I havent filled out my sponsorship request yet?

Yes! In almost all sponsorship cases, we request that families pay the $100 deposit per camper. Go ahead and register your camper(s) for camp! 

Upon checkout, you will select the payment plan that includes one automatic withdrawal on May 15th. Rest assured, we will process your sponsorship request form and allocate funds befor the May withdrawal date. 

What if I am unable to pay the $100 deposit at the time of registration?

The St Thomas More Center offers $30,000 each year in sponsorships. Any additional aid from parishes and schools is greatly appreciated by both CYC and our campers.

Assistance Options

• Give funds directly to families to apply towards camp.*

• Purchase CYC Coupons of any amount and quantity.

  • These coupons can be given directly to families to apply at registration.

  • Please contact the office to purchase.

• Send a check directly to CYC with a list of the campers' first and last names as well as the amounts to be applied to each account. 

*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!

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