Financial Assistance Program
 Empowering All Kids through Outdoor Adventure

ABOUT OUR PROGRAM

We are excited to be able to provide financial assistance for our 2019 season!  Please read all information below for complete details.

Avid4 Adventure empowers more kids to choose active, outdoor lifestyles by offering summer camp financial assistance for low and middle income families. Every year, we have been pleased to offer increasingly more financial assistance through both partial and full assistance packages.

Generous families and partners make our financial assistance program possible. We match donations 100%! Donations may be given any of these ways: 

Who is Eligible for Financial Assistance?

If your family’s household income is less than $100,000, you are eligible to apply for financial assistance for Avid4 Adventure day camps and overnight camp. Please note that awards may be available at a higher income level, however priority is given to families with incomes below $100,000. Proof of previous year’s annual income in the form of a tax return and/or current pay stubs must be provided if requested by Avid4 Adventure.

How To Apply

Application Deadlines:

  • Overnight Camps (including Resident and Expedition programs): March 15th, 2019
  • Day Camps: April 15th, 2019

When Awards are Made:

  • Overnight Camps: by April 7th, 2019
  • Day Camps: by May 7th, 2019

We are able to provide financial assistance amounting to 25% – 100% of your camp tuition.  The assistance awarded is dependent on our scoring criteria detailed below.  If selected, you will be awarded a specific session date and camp. Unfortunately, not all camps and session dates will have space available for financial assistance recipients, so we request that applicants maintain flexibility.  Please do not register for camp before receiving an award notice because we are unable to retroactively apply scholarship awards.
