Last Chance for Blue Hill’s Summer Camp? Sign up this weekend!

03/15/2024 scott (Recreation)

It’s not too late to sign up for SUMMER CAMP, brought to you by the Town of Blue Hill and the Downeast Family YMCA!

Blue Hill campers receive a discounted rate of $195 per week, with a further discount for siblings. Financial aid is also available for families in need.

Sign up this weekend—given the popularity of last year’s summer camp program, we expect the available slots to be taken quickly after registration opens up to all towns on Monday.

Any questions? Contact the Blue Hill YMCA at (207) 374-5359.

Third-Party Donation Requests

In recent years, a range of charitable organizations have requested funding from Town taxpayers in connection with the Blue Hill Annual Town meeting.

At its Monday meeting, the Blue Hill Select Board approved minor amendments to its “Policy Regarding Town Meeting Funding Requests from Nonprofit Organizations,” which describes the process for making such requests and identifies the information requested by the Select Board and the Budget Committee as they review incoming requests and consider their recommendations to Town voters.

The form identifying the requested information is available here and via the bluehillme.gov home page.

For this year, the deadline for submitting applications is January 31, 2024. (The normal deadline under the policy is December 31 of the preceding year.)
