FUND ASSISTANCE
Thanks to the generosity of donors, we have a designated financial assistance fund for youth in need. Throughout the year grants are made from this fund to ensure all youth have the opportunity to experience the excitement of our camps.
ELIGIBILITY FOR A CAMPERSHIP?

HOW CAN I DONATE TO THE CAMPERSHIP FUND?
To donate to the Campership fund all you need to do is make a notation in the memo line of your check or a letter attached to your donation or if paying on-line, note that this is for the Campership Fund.
WHAT FEE DOES THE CAMPERSHIP GET APPLIED TO?
Green Mountain Council strives to provide need and merit-based aid at a level that is greater than any promotional discount. Campers receiving financial aid will see that discount applied to the Full Price fee regardless of any other discounts or promotions. It is not possible to combine financial aid with other discounts. Ex: John Doe applies for financial aid and is awarded a $100 Campership. Doe’s final out-of-pocket cost is $430 (Full price: $530- $100 Campership).
