GET HELP PAYING FOR CAMP
The Carlos Huelga Surf Scholarship is available to aspiring young surfers interested in bringing a lifelong passion to life. This scholarship for surf camp was created in loving memory of cherished father, friend, husband and dedicated member of the Ryan Family Y Board of Advisors, Carlos Huelga (1962-2023).
Did you know that several agencies in San Diego County, like the Y and Child Development Associates, can help fully or partially pay for child care or day camp? Learn more here.
