Important information regarding Campership Financial Aid:
Qualification for Aid
Financial aid is awarded based upon the availability of resources and applicant qualifications. Financial aid is based on several different criteria including family income, size of family, etc. Submittal of financial aid application does not guarantee aid. Financial aid will be awarded after the applicant has been accepted to the partnership camp program.
Returning Applicants
CampLauncher gives priority to returning campers, as we adhere passionately to the notion that ongoing and sequential camp experiences underscore the value of camp, as it becomes exponentially more valuable to campers year after year. Returning Campers, however MUST submit a new financial aid application each year (September – August). We reserve the right to ask for updated tax information after April 15th to make a final determination for financial aid requests.
Applicants Over 18
If the applicant lives with a parent/legal guardian, we require that both the participant and the parents/legal guardians provide financial documentation; otherwise, the financial aid application will be considered incomplete. If the applicant does not live with a parent/guardian, CampLauncher staff will need to determine the nature of the financial relationship of the parent and child. Please specify any financial or material support (e.g., below-market rent, groceries, utilities payments, tuition support, monthly cash support) that the applicant receives from family or others under the “additional consideration” section.
