Scholarship Information: We have a scholarship that is available for families that qualify through the School Board of Alachua County (SBAC) for free or reduced lunch. Families can also qualify through the City of Gainesville Family Application for Reduced Fees. Proof of the past 4 weeks of income will need to be submitted with the application at time of registration. You can request proof of free or reduced lunch through your child’s school by calling the SBAC’s Food Service Office at (352) 955-7539 ext.1569. If eligible, you will receive a 50% discount.
1. You may pick up a scholarship application (for EACH CHILD that will be applying) at the Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Administration, along with the list of required documentation, at the Thomas Center located at 306 NE 6th Avenue, Bldg. B, 3rd Floor, Monday–Friday from 8am–5pm.
2. Submit your application and documentation by April 18th at 5PM. No applications will be accepted after this time.
3. April 19th, we will randomly select the recipients of the scholarship and notify you if your child was selected. At that time you will need to return to PRCA Administration and register. If your child is not randomly selected, you can still register your child at that time, but will need to submit payment for the sessions registered.
When scholarships are granted, a child must attend the program on a full-time basis. Full time equates to three times a week. If a child misses 5 consecutive days, or 2 weeks without attending 3 days per week, then the scholarship will be revoked. The child may remain a registered participant by paying the full camp rate for the remainder of the desired session within two days of the decision. If parent/guardian does not make this payment, child will be withdrawn from camp.
For additional information, please contact our Administrative Office by email, in person: 306 NE 6th Avenue, Thomas Center Bldg B, 3rd Floor. or call us at 352-334-5067. Hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 am–5:00 pm.
