[quote=Anonymous][quote] I wonder how much of an issue the fee waivers are here. With DPS giving priority camp registration to people on fee waivers, and the high staff costs of running camps, it is easy to see how that aspect of the program could lose money. And that’s not the sort of thing “equitable Arlington” would want to talk about in any great detail.[/quote]

This info would be good to have, there have always been fee reductions though. I guess would be good to know if that changed over time. I would generally think gymnastics should not be exempted (adult leagues are for instance but this activity is primarily children and should have equitable access).

If the camp thing is an issue, it should be affecting a lot of programs. It’s also a fee reduction for most people, so most people are still paying something. There is something they call a hardship request that you can fill out and get a 20% fee reduction for six months. The income limit is quite a bit higher. I assume all the federal workforce reductions since Jan 2025 would have resulted in more people getting this discount, and I’m curious what impact that could have.
