Each family may apply for up to six kids per family. There is one application per family. All information will be treated with the strictest confidentiality.

Note: If the camp/program that your child will attend changes after a scholarship grant has been awarded, or the length of the camp session she/he will attend changes, resulting in a decrease of your camp expenses, the amount of the grant will likely be decreased in proportion to your new camp expenses.
