Application and supporting documents received after that date will not be processed and financial/scholarship assistance will not be granted.

 

Camps at Trusted Parents financial assistance and scholarship funding is limited, and eligibility is granted according to the NC Division of Social Services Food and Nutrition Eligibility Guidelines. Due to limited funding, we cannot award financial assistance or scholarships to everyone who applies. If we are unable to award you assistance and you choose to withdraw your child from our program, due to your inability to pay, the registration fee will not be refunded, but you may apply the total amount paid towards one week of camp and pay the small remaining balance, if there is one. (Please review cancellation policy on our FAQ page).

 

For those requesting FULL SCHOLARSHIP: The Financial Aid committee will review applications and a decision made concerning those who qualify for FULL SCHOLARSHIP, You will be notified as soon as a decision is made. Camp Trusted Parents' full scholarship campers will receive 4 weeks of paid camp, and Camp Explore's campers could receive 1-2 weeks of paid camp. If a parent wants to enroll their child(ren) in additional weeks, then the full price of the weekly rate must be paid in full by Friday June 21, 2024. If this is the case, parents must pay the weekly enrollment fee to cover the additional weeks not covered by scholarship funding. Please Note: Full scholarships are very limited for both Camp Trusted Parents (CTP) and Camp Explore (CE) campers; however, it is even scarce for CE campers. Financial assistance is a greater possibility for CE campers.

 

For those requesting FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: The Financial Aid committee will review applications and the decision concerning who will be awarded funding should be completed by May 24, 2024, this is all contingent upon our funders.  Financial Assistance can cover between 25-50% of the weekly cost of camp, for up to  4 weeks of camp for Camp (CTP), and up to 2 weeks for (CE). Additional weeks thereafter will be charged at regular camp rate. Recipients will be notified by email (or letter) of the amount awarded. Balances (if any) will be due by the required date of June 21, 2024. If the total tuition exceeds more than $1000 (with administration approval), then only half of the tuition balance will be due by the required due date, and the remaining balance will be due two week later. If half the tuition cannot be made by required due date, it could result in the camper being withdrawn from the unpaid weeks of the program.

 

Please be advised, that financial aid and scholarship awards are not transferable to another person, child, or season. Please direct all questions or concerns to camps@trustedparents.org or call 980-229-7253.
