- If you are able, please select the “Tier 1” payment option when registering. This covers the cost of attendance, reserving scholarships and subsidies for those in need of additional assistance.
- We understand that the cost of an additional session can be challenging. Please note that scholarships are available, you can select a payment plan, if needed, and we encourage families to consider our Crowdfund-your-Fee option! Inquire info@dyf.org for more information.
We also ask that you share your experience to encourage others to attend! Word of mouth is our most effective tool in building our community. There are still spots available for Fall Retreat, and scholarships are available to make camp accessible to everyone!

Ways to Support DYF
Help us reach our DYF Day Goal!
DYF Day is Thursday, Sept. 18, 2025 and we need your help to make it a success!
If your camp experience positively impacted you and your family, we’re asking you to take action by joining us to help raise money on DYF Day! Partner with us by creating your own DYF Day fundraising page at DYF.org/DYFDay. Fundraising ends September 18th.
Shop the camp store!
Fun camp apparel, mugs, beach towels and more are all available at dyf.threadless.com.
If you are able to make a financial gift, every dollar counts!
As a non-profit organization, DYF relies on the support of those who’ve benefited from our programs to ensure their continuation in the future. Please, if you are able, consider donating to DYF and becoming a lifeline for a future family in need of support—gifts of all sizes have a direct and immediate impact. Gifts can be made in many ways: visit dyf.org/donate to make a gift online at any time, use the donation envelope in your packet, or donate to DYF Day at DYF.org/DYFDay. DYF also accepts gifts of stock, IRA minimum distributions, car donations, and more; please contact us for more information.
Many companies offer matching grants and corporate support, but it takes our participants to open the door! Let us know if your company is philanthropic! Visit DYF.org/Give for more information and other ways to support.
