General Info on our Sliding Scale and Camper Scholarships
Camp Ten Trees is committed to maintaining accessibility, including financial accessibility, for our campers.  We are thrilled to have never yet had to turn away a potential camper for financial reasons.  Our long-time Campership (scholarship assistance) Program has helped many campers join us over the years.  We also have a Camp Tuition Sliding Scale.  We encourage campers/their families to pay highest sliding scale rate affordable for them.  This helps make camp participation possible for all our campers.  The high end of the scale begins at the actual cost to Camp Ten Trees to host one camper for one week.  The low end of the scale is about 35% of the actual cost to Camp Ten Trees to host one camper for one week.  When completing your registration form, simply select the sliding scale rate that is the best fit for you.  If the lowest rate is too costly, don't worry!  Just submit a Campership Request Form.  Don't let finanical challenges keep you from registering!  We love Campership Requests!
