CAMPERSHIP PROGRAM
Camperships have been providing equitable camp experiences for ALL God’s children since Grotonwood was established in 1956. We are committed to helping any camper who might find the cost of camp prohibitive. Access to camp, despite economic hardship has remained one of our guiding principles.
Please know that we do not want to deny anyone the opportunity of attending summer camp, however, the demand for financial aid is always very strong and our resources limited. The cost to provide an excellent camp experience is ever increasing and donor support fluctuates year on year. We therefore ask you to limit your request to just one week of camp and to research all possible means of funding camp including your church, community organizations like the Rotary or Lions club, DDS, DCF, and town/city hall. Should you still not be able to meet the tuition cost, by all means, please apply by following the steps below.
follow the simple steps below To get starteD
Step 1: decide which session your camper wants to attend; noting the cost of tuition, the deposit amount, and how much your camper can contribute toward the cost of camp. Deposit details are listed in the table below.
Step 2: complete the online Campership Request Form by clicking on the button below. Don’t forget to hit ‘Submit’ when you’re done.
Step 3: we’ll review your Campership Request within five working days and call to advise you of the outcome.
Step 4: once you have your financial aid agreed, it’s time to register your camper! You only need to pay the minimum deposit (listed below) to secure your camper’s spot. The remaining balance can be paid in installments or in full by June 1, late fees apply.
Step 5: once your camper is registered we’ll proceed with applying the financial aid towards the balance due.
Important: Applicants are responsible for the minimum deposit of their chosen session. Any Financial aid awarded to your camper is applied AFTER you register (and pay the minimum deposit). Deposit amounts are outlined in the table above. There is a strict four week registration deadline once your campership is approved. You must register and pay the minimum deposit amount to secure your camper’s spot or your funding will be awarded to the next camper on our funding list. If you need more time to secure payment please email office@grotonwood.org or call the camp office at 978 448 5763 to explain your special circumstances.
