Who is eligible for a summer camp scholarship?

OVERVIEW

The LISTEN Summer Camp Scholarship Program provides need-based camp scholarships to Upper Valley children aged 6-14. The scholarship goes towards one week of day or overnight camp and can range from $100-$500 per camper.

LISTEN first works with local schools & social service agencies who identify & refer families they feel would most benefit from the program. A school or social service agency can refer up to 20 children. Their referral does not guarantee a scholarship but gives parents priority to schedule an appointment early – before February 3rd. The program opens to the public on February 3rd and will continue until funds run out

TIMELINE

January 13th: Appointments start for parents with a referral

February 3rd: Appointments start for parents who self-refer.

Parents or legal guardians of a child between the ages of 6 and 14 at the time of camp attendance.
