Scholarship Information
Due to the generous support of local groups and individuals, including the NRT, the First Parish Unitarian Universalist's Green Sanctuary Committee, Easton Charitable Trust's Festival of Trees and others, camp scholarships may be available for the 2024 season. Scholarships are largely need-based and are available to families in Easton and from towns throughout the local area. Scholarships are generally awarded for one camper to attend a 1-week session of programming, and priority is given to participants who have not previously received assistance. If you are an educator, counselor, therapist, clergy member, or similar individual who knows a child who would benefit from receiving a camp scholarship, please contact [email protected] for more information. If there are exceptional circumstances which may prevent a parent/guardian from applying, please contact the NRT's Education Department to speak directly to an NRT camp director for more information.
The 2024 scholarship application has been closed for 2024.
Applications will continue to be accepted on a rolling basis during the open dates as funding allows; submission of an application does not guarantee award of funds. Camp spaces cannot be held before scholarships may be awarded, and space in any specific session(s) is not guaranteed to recipients. If camp spaces are filled prior to use of a camp scholarship, the scholarship becomes void. Scholarships are only valid for the specific camp season issued. Scholarships awarded have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for cash or credit. Applicants do not need to live in Easton, and families from other communities are encouraged to apply.
