CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS
Because we believe that ALL youth deserve access to nature, regardless of their background, Thorne offers full and partial scholarships for families to participate in summer camp. Each year Thorne aims to award more scholarships than the year before, thanks to the generous support of our community.
SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION
Partial and full scholarships are available each year to help families who would not otherwise be able to afford camp for their child. Full scholarships are available for youth from low-income families or families experiencing a crisis like loss of housing due to a fire, severe illness of a family member, or a parent’s loss of employment. While we do not assess the need of applicants, we trust that families will apply only for the support they require. This allows us to provide scholarships to as many campers as possible.
The application for the first round of scholarships opens in mid-December and applicants will be notified if they’ve received a scholarship by the end of January. Scholarships are awarded on a first-applied, first-awarded basis depending on availability. If there is additional availability, we will offer a second round of scholarships in the spring.
HOW TO APPLY
Thorne offers scholarships from $250, $500, or $750 to full scholarships, based on need. The application will ask you about your level of need.
