How do I register for a summer camp scholarship?
Registrations for families referred by schools or other social service agencies start January 13th. Beginning February 3rd, eligible families may self-refer by calling LISTEN to schedule an appointment.
All summer camp scholarship appointments are available by phone appointments only. Additionally, some camp registration dates may change as camps continue to make plans/adjustments. However, parents can still make an appointment to get approval for a LISTEN Summer Camp Scholarship whether registration for the chosen camp is open.
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
