Financial Aid
Farm & Wilderness has long been committed to making camp available to as many children as possible, regardless of ability to pay. This program is open to all family configurations regardless of race, religion, or socioeconomic background. Camperships (our term for financial aid) help families for whom payment of full tuition is not possible.
Some things you should know about financial aid:
- Applications should be mailed to our office by January 15th for overnight camps, and June 1st for the Barn Day Camp.
- Applicant families can expect to hear by mid-February about the Awards Committee's decision. All tuition paid up to that time is refundable if you decide you need to cancel. No refunds are made after March 1st.
- Applicant families for the Barn Day Camp can expect to hear about the Awards Committee's decision in early June. All tuition paid up to that time is refundable if you decide you need to cancel. No refunds will be made after June 1st.
- The Campership application is not an application to Farm & Wilderness. You must fill out the Farm & Wilderness application in addition to the Campership Application.
- A child must be enrolled (not on the waiting list) at the time of the Awards Committee meeting in order to be considered for aid.
- Campership Applications for returning campers will be reviewed along with counselor letters and the camp director's report.
