Scholarships

Scholarships are available for 2013 Summer Camps! Scholarships are awarded on a lottery basis.

Our scholarships have been distributed for Winter/Spring 2013 classes and mini-camps.

Scholarships for 85% of the fee are available for families currently receiving public assistance (TANF, MFIP, General Assistance, WIC, Medicaid or Medical Assistance, SSI, Foodstamps, MN Care, Section 8 Housing or Free or Reduced Price School Meals). You will be awarded or declined depending on the availability of funds.

Scholarships for 50% of the fee are available for other families needing assistance. These awards are based on financial need and availability of funds.

Generous contributions from businesses and individuals help us realize the dream of making assistance available for all who need it. In recent years, we have expanded this program to include more scholarships for summer day camps. You may contribute to this fund by indicating an amount on your registration form.
