How Financial Assistance is Awarded

We are able to provide financial assistance amounting to 20% – 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.

Financial assistance awards are non-transferable and may only be used once per camper per summer. This means the award cannot be applied to another camper, transferred to a different family, or used for multiple sessions within the same summer. 

  • DISCLAIMER: Registrations may be canceled if misuse is detected.

A committee will meet to review applications and make awards until all funds are distributed. You may submit your application at any time up until our deadlines. Financial Assistance will be awarded based on the following:

  • Diversity: These scholarships are intended to broaden the diversity of life experiences of campers participating in Avid4 Adventure.
  • Economic Need: We consider family size, income, and/or extenuating circumstances when making awards.
  • Motivation: A written statement from campers and their parents helps us assess motivation during our review process.
  • Funding: Awards will be made based on the availability of scholarship funds.
