We want to help.

It is our mission to build a world that lets all kids experience camp.

We won’t let finances be the reason your camper doesn’t.

Camper Scholarships & Tuition Resources

We are currently seeking community partners in the NY/ PA/ NJ area who partner with camps to provide funding to summer camps or families with children attending camps.

  • Built into the camper application is a short application for our no-questions asked financial aid. Scholarships from Camp SkyWild are entirely fundraised by our team, so they are on a first come, first served basis.

    Please note: To help the greatest number of families, all of our scholarships are partial funding for camp. If you aim to have your child’s tuition covered in full, I can help you pursue some additional options (see below).

  • If your child receives services through CMH, you may qualify to apply a portion of available respite funding to Camp SkyWild tuition. Contact your CMH caseworker to learn if this is an option for your family.

  • Our programs have been lucky to have been selected for grants in 2018-2023 to provide 10 partial scholarships to our campers under the age of 18. If we are a chosen as a recipient in 2024, this funding will also be awarded on a first come first served basis. When all of these funds have been allocated to families, there are occasionally additional funding opportunities within local Elks chapters.
