2024 Applications are OPEN
We are on a mission to make our programs as accessible as possible to all youth. We believe that summer camp is a magical place where kids can come together and celebrate their shared interests as well as differences, make friends, and grow into awesome humans.
We encourage you to ask for assistance if you need it, even if you think you might not qualify. Applying for full or partial tuition assistance does not affect chances of being enrolled summer camp.
NEXT STEPS

Second, send your previous year’s tax return OR proof of qualification for free lunch to [email protected]. We cannot process tuition assistance applications until we’ve received all supplemental documents.

After we’ve notified you about your tuition assistance level, we will provide you with a discount code to be used when you register your camper(s) for Amplify.
We cannot grant tuition assistance due to campers being committed to multiple summer plans (e.g., vacations), or other financial hardships caused by elective activities.
We grant as many assistance requests as possible, prioritizing families with the greatest need.
Complete the form below AND ALSO email [email protected] a copy of last year’s tax return OR proof of qualifying for a school lunch program.
Families who receive tuition assistance are limited to a single all inclusive 2 week session and are not eligible to purchase additional private lessons

This chart serves as a guideline only to help you choose an amount to request. When filling out your application, please request the amount you feel your family can afford. This chart does not provide a strict determination of how much tuition assistance families will receive.
We also take into consideration each camper’s and/or family’s unique circumstances. That being said, families belonging to these household income levels can typically expect to contribute the correlating tuition ranges. This process is confidential.
