Project Title: Camp Thorpe Scholarship Fund
Project Description:

Camp Thorpe is a nonprofit summer camp based in Goshen, VT that serves children and adults with a wide range of physical, developmental, and disabilities. These scholarships cover either half ($700) or the full amount ($1,400) of a session depending on the demonstrated need of the camper. While Camp Thorpe offers our summer programming at an already discounted tuition cost, we understand that given that roughly half of our camper base comes from low or no-income households and rely on respite funds and state support, there may be additional financial hurdles for our campers to overcome. To help assist campers, we created the Wolcott Scholarship Fund for campers who require support. With this program, we are able to provide access to a traditional overnight summer camp experience for campers who would not be able to attend otherwise. We are requesting funds for our Scholarship Program, which allows 10-15 campers who come from low- or no-income households to attend a session of camp at a discounted rate.

Total Project Budget: $20,000
