Because of the generosity of our sponsors, we are able to provide scholarships to students who can demonstrate verifiable financial need.

If you believe that your child can qualify for a need-based scholarship and you can provide documentation such as certification of free/reduced lunch, documentation of social security disability, tax or payroll information, or documentation of governmental support we invite you to apply for financial support for your child.

Please note that support can only be made for one camp per applicant. Partial scholarships will be given to some students who might be able to cover some cost of the camp. Full scholarships are limited. Please be sure to indicate on the application any part of the camp fees you might be able to cover.
