While some summer camps already offer financial aid, each has its own application process and deadline. ActivityHero\u2019s scholarship program<\/a> allows families to apply for multiple summer camps with one application, saving time and increasing the success of receiving a scholarship.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have an amazing variety of summer camps, extracurricular activities and sports on ActivityHero<\/a>,\u201d said Peggy Chang, Co-Founder and CEO of ActivityHero. \u201cWe want all children to have access to high-quality summer experiences and social and learning benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n

In particular, summertime poses challenges for working parents to fill in the 11-12 weeks that school is out. \u201cIf there is a gap in childcare coverage, mothers are usually the ones that stay home with the kids, which can impact their career,\u201d Chang said. \u201cBy providing an easy way to find camps, and connecting them with scholarships, we want to help mothers reach their full potential in the workplace while their kids gain new experiences at camp.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the first time that many of the participating camps are offering financial aid. \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to offer scholarships but I didn\u2019t know how to start,\u201d said CD Hullinger of CD\u2019s Art Studio. \u201cActivityHero\u2019s scholarship program makes it easy to offer a few spots without the administrative work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Families can apply for a scholarship at ActivityHero.com<\/a>. Scholarships are available for children ages 5-17. Household income and family size will determine scholarship eligibility. Cash contributions from local families<\/a> help more children attend summer camp.<\/p>\n
