Help with
camp costs.

A few practical places to start, from help in your hometown to organizations that support families in particular circumstances. Contact each organization directly to ask whether your chosen Adventurelore camp could qualify.

Start close to home.

Your family’s hometown is a useful starting point, even if your child will attend camp in another state.

Community organizations

Ask your local Rotary, Lions, or Kiwanis club, community charity, or faith community whether it offers camp scholarships or youth-enrichment assistance. Your school counselor or town’s youth or family-services office may know where to turn.

These are individual local inquiries. Funds, residency rules, and the ability to support a camp outside your town vary by organization.

New Hampshire EFA

Adventurelore is an approved Education Freedom Account (EFA) provider. Families with EFA funds can ask about qualifying educational camp programming.

Provider approval does not make every camp or expense eligible. Confirm your selected program and expenses with Children’s Scholarship Fund New Hampshire before committing funds.

Harry Gregg FoundationNew Hampshire residents · Qualifying disability & financial need

Best fit: NH residents who meet the foundation’s disability and financial-need criteria. These can include significant learning disabilities and qualifying emotional disabilities in children.

Who starts: Parent or guardian, with the required letter documenting a diagnosis.

Camp tuition and recreation are eligible funding categories. If your child has ADHD, ask the foundation whether their documented needs meet its criteria; a diagnosis alone does not establish eligibility.

Recreation requests receive rolling review beginning in February. Funds are limited, so contact the foundation early.

Next step: Check the eligibility criteria and ask whether the specific Adventurelore camp can be funded. Discuss camp participation needs separately with our team.

Before you apply.

A little preparation can make your request clearer.

  1. Choose a camp and confirm the details. Ask Adventurelore about current dates, tuition, availability, and your child’s participation needs.
  2. Confirm eligibility with the funder. Ask whether your family and the specific camp qualify, whether provider registration is required, and what deadlines and payment rules apply. Check before paying a deposit if you are relying on assistance.
  3. Gather the information they need. Our office can provide camp descriptions, cost information, invoices, and receipts. Families submit their own applications and supporting documents directly to the organization.

These links are starting points, not promises of an award or confirmation that an organization has approved Adventurelore. Funding availability and program rules can change.

Let’s talk about the right fit.

Financial assistance and camp participation are separate conversations.

Adventurelore camps are group adventure experiences, not clinical treatment programs. Staff offer encouragement, structure, and support within the camp setting; we are not equipped to provide intensive individual support.

If your child needs additional help with participation, supervision, or daily routines, talk with our team before registering. We can discuss the activities, group expectations, and support available for the camp you are considering.

Resources reviewed September 27, 2026. Follow each organization’s linked guidance for current requirements and availability.
