Everyone should have access to summer.
Team Up Summer Program Scholarships offer free and reduced cost access to high-quality summer programs for La Plata County students grades K-12.
Make a tax-deductible contribution to our Summer Program Scholarship fund.
What is it?
Team Up provides full and partial scholarships in partnership with multiple summer youth programs in La Plata County to families who experience cost as a barrier to program participation or children who are disproportionately at risk of summer learning loss.
We understand that many working families may not qualify for most financial assistance programs, yet they can still face significant financial challenges. Our goal is to create opportunities that address these challenges and provide meaningful support to families in our community, regardless of household income.
How does it work?
Parents and caregivers fill out an application form to be connected with our program partners. If the programs you select have scholarship availability and your child(ren) qualify, organizations will reach out to you directly for enrollment. Please contact programs directly if you have specific questions about their summer 2026 programming.
Learn about our partner organizations below so you can choose the best program(s) for your child.
Summer 2025 Partner Programs
Please note it is not guaranteed that the same programs will partner with us in Summer 2026.
Each program has their own process for enrolling students and administering scholarships. Some organizations offer 100% free programming while others issue large discounts. After applying, you will be connected with our program partners based on scholarship availability. Please contact programs directly only if you have specific questions about their summer programming.

“The funding allows us to bring in more teachers and provide higher quality materials. It especially helps get the word out about the different programs that are available in our area.”
“Team Up has allowed us to almost double the number of students we serve through our week long camps.”
There is no parenting handbook.
