That’s what it costs for a kid
with talent and no means.

We’ve never let money be the reason a remarkable kid missed out. And we never will.

Gold — 40%Exceptional. Nationally recognized achievement or 9+ assessment scores.

Bronze — 15%Notable. Clear passion and above-average accomplishment.

Automatically considered from your assessment — no separate application needed.

Need + merit can combine up to 100%.

A student who qualifies for 75% need-based and 25% merit pays nothing. At least 15% of all campers receive scholarship support.

Our promise

  • No one — not counselors, not other kids — knows who's on scholarship
  • All activities, materials, and experiences are exactly the same
  • No required testimonials, no logo wearing, no obligations

What counts as “merit”?

We take a deliberately broad view. A kid who built an insect hotel qualifies as much as one who codes neural networks.

STEM

Built a robot, app, or AI project. Won science fairs. Published code on GitHub.

Creative

Portfolio of art, music, films. Performance experience. Published writing.

Leadership

Organized events. Started a club. Mentored others. Community projects.

Sports

Competitive level. Team captain. Sportsmanship recognition.

Global

3+ languages. Community service. Cross-cultural experiences. Activism.

Common questions.

Will my kid be treated differently?+

Absolutely not. No one at camp knows who's on scholarship. Same room, same food, same activities, same experience.

Can we apply after being accepted?+

Yes. Financial circumstances can change. Contact us anytime.

What if we don't qualify for need-based but can't afford full fees?+

Contact us. We offer flexible payment plans and can discuss options case by case.

Is the scholarship renewable?+

Yes. Returning campers can reapply each year.

Cost is our problem. Not yours.

Apply first. We’ll figure out the money together.
