Scholarships for summer camps
Summer camps have a limited number of spaces for children and there are limitations in the number of scholarships accepted per camp, so please register early!
In order to hold a space in a summer camp, you must register your child and pay the deposit. For your initial scholarship application, we’ll accept your current financial information (tax return from the previous year and W-2). Because scholarships are valid for six months, depending on the date of registration, you may be required to provide updated financial information before camp starts.
