Need Help with Tuition or Child Care Payments?

Summer camp tuition assistance is available for families based on financial need.  Students who are eligible for free or reduced lunch through the National School Lunch Program may request a scholarship.  A family who does not qualify for free or reduced lunch but still needs help may request tuition assistance by writing a letter explaining the circumstances. 

For preschool and school-age camps, The Learning Lamp participates in Pennsylvania’s child care subsidy program, which helps eligible families pay for child care.  For details, or to register, please call Child Care Information Services in your county:

  • Bedford County:  (814) 623-2002
  • Cambria County: 1-800-492-9292
  • Somerset County: 1-800-428-8920

The Learning Lamp strongly encourages families to contact their local subsidy provider as soon as they know they will need child care.  There may be a waiting list for funds, depending on your county or the time of year.
