Scholarships
Camp Yakety Yak offers need based scholarships up to $500 for one week of camp tuition per youth. Families who are eligible for free and reduced school lunch, WIC and SNAP are prioritized. If your family does not qualify for government assistance, but paying full tuition would be a barrier to participation for your youth, please apply. To apply please register for the camps session/s you are interested in and answer the scholarship questions. There is a $100 registration fee for each camp session. If this is a barrier, please contact us at info@campyaketyyak.org.
Camp Yakety Yak is Unique
Our community is joy-filled and welcoming, designed to help youth to explore their strengths, build friendships, and grow socially and emotionally in a safe environment supported by professional staff.
Friendship & Belonging
Every day is full of creative activities, games, and social experiences where youth can connect, make friends, and develop confidence. At Camp Yakety Yak, every young person is celebrated for who they are and supported in a space where they can truly belong and shine.
A Teaching Camp
Camp Yakety Yak is also a teaching camp, preparing the next generation of educators and therapeutic professionals. Graduate students of speech-language pathology and occupational therapy, undergraduate students, and trained high school volunteers work alongside our licensed professional staff, gaining hands-on experience while supporting youth with care, expertise, and compassion.
Supporting Families
Camp Yakety Yak provides support for families through engaging programming, resources, and opportunities for connection, creating a space where the whole family feels valued and included. Siblings and friends participate in camp alongside youth experiencing disabilities. Guardians are invited to take part in our Caregiver Connections group, offered every Monday during camp, right after drop off.
