Financial Aid
We are proud to keep the experience as affordable as possible, but we understand that sometimes, a little extra help can go a long way.
All decisions regarding Financial Aid are made after applications close and grading is complete.
Our Board of Directors authorized $25,000 for Financial Aid in 2024. Students seeking Financial Aid will select their desired percentage of aid in their application. Students are accepted into camp based on merit. A student’s request for Financial Aid holds no weight in their application. Students accepted into camp will be awarded a Financial Aid amount based on their request. The awarded amount may be less than what the student requested. The good news is that as we gain more recognition within the community, our scholarship fund has grown to help us meet more requests.
To apply for Financial Aid, select YES in your application.
Cancelation Policy
Our cancelation policy is strict due to security clearance and pre-paid expenses with our vendors. Once tuition is paid, no refunds will be issued. There are no refunds for participants who arrive late or depart early. If unforeseen circumstances occur and we are forced to cancel camp, participants will receive a full refund minus a small service fee.
