Financial Assistance Application for Camper

Financial Assistance Policy & Procedure:

It is a goal and priority of Camp Tapawingo to be a welcoming and accessible place for all children regardless of religion, sexual orientation, gender expression or financial situation. In order to remove barriers, Tapawingo maintains a special fund to provide financial assistance to families based on need. This fund is limited and varies each year depending on donations and grants. Families can apply for any amount and for more than one camper. Funds could also be used towards day camp, travel to camp or camping supplies. We ask each family to contribute as much as possible to their campers's fees, and we trust that applicants will report all sources of income honestly. All applications for financial assistance received will be kept confidential. Only the Executive Director, Board Chair and Bookkeeper will be aware that an application has been made. Applicants must reapply for assistance each year. Receiving funds one year does not guarantee that you will receive funds in subsequent years. New applications will receive priority as it is our desire to use the available funds to ensure as many youth as possible benefit from a summer camp experience. Financial Assistance is granted based on need, demand, and availability of funds in the Assistance Fund pool the year you make the application. The deadline to apply for financial assistance is May 1. Applicants will be notified as to the level of financial assistance provided no later than June 1, and will be invoiced for any amounts still owing to the camp. Applications that come in after the May 1 deadline will still be considered, however, the chance of funds being granted is reduced.
