APPLICATION PROCESS:

We are currently accepting applications for After School, Spring Break and Summer Camp. We have two separate applications - one for new students, and one for returning students. Scroll down to the following section to view further application instructions.

  • APRIL 11: Submission deadline

  • APRIL 15: Scholarship awards announced

  • NOTE: After school scholarships are awarded rolling submission - no deadline

WAITLIST POLICY: Every year we have more students apply than we are able to fund. Most awards are for one to two weeks of camp. If you do not receive an award, please add your name to the waitlist, so that we can notify you if a spot opens.

SCHOLARSHIP TIERS: The largest scholarships (50%–90% discounts) are awarded to students demonstrating the greatest financial need. To allow us to assist as many families as possible, please request only the percentage you need to attend.

BEHAVIOR AND ATTENDANCE: All of our students, including those receiving scholarships, are held to high behavior standards. Disruptive behavior may result in dismissal from the program.

  • We expect scholarship students to attend camp every day. Students with excessive absences or tardiness will not be considered for future scholarships.
