To Donate:If you are an organization or individual that wishes to provide financial assistance for children, please contact us at (781) 270-4800 for more information. 100% of all donated funds are used for Summer Camp Scholarships for children.
To Apply: Our summer camp scholarships and financial aid program is a partnership between the camper families, donating organizations, and our own company’s fund. Transportation and incidentals are the responsibility of the scholarship recipient (some transportation may be available from local points for Quest Camp). These scholarships and financial aid are to be applied to this year’s NERF Zombie Camp and/or Wizards & Warriors Camp only.
We have a limited number of scholarships available based on financial need. The number and amount of scholarships available is based upon the contributions we receive combined with the allocated funds from The Story School inc. set aside for scholarships. Our company is committed to assisting as many campers as possible in their quest to experience their own adventure at our Summer Camps. While we sometimes receive more requests than scholarships are available and occasionally are unable to accept an application, we do strive to work with parents and organizations to assist as many children as we can.
Each camper applicant must provide the following:
- Three letters of recommendation from people not related to you. (Examples: teachers, principals, community leaders, neighbors)
- A minimum one page completed Character History about the character you would choose to play, along with details specifying the costuming you and your family will provide.
- A 5-6 paragraph answer to the following essay question: What do the terms Honor, Compassion, and Courage mean to you?
Scholarship requests for large amounts may require verification by a copy of your family’s most recent tax returns.
To receive a scholarship or financial aid, please fill out the following form. All fields are mandatory.
