PLEASE NOTE:
1 - MYNA has a 2 strike policy at camp. If campers fail to uphold MYNA’s code of conduct and adhere to camp rules and regulations despite multiple warnings from camp staff, parents will be asked to pick up their youth and pay back up to 75% of the sponsored financial assistance. This money is an Amanah (trust), and as such, MYNA must do it’s best to distribute it to campers who will benefit the most.
2 - Please report ALL income honestly as it is an Amanah (trust) on MYNA to distribute this financial assistance to the most needy. This includes income that may not be reported on tax documents.
