Scholarships are Available for all Camp Programs!
We want all kids to be able to attend our camps programs as we believe money should not be a barrier for environmental education! If your camper is interested in attending a program, but the cost of camp is beyond what you can pay, please fill out a scholarship application and email it to visitorcenter@thegreatbasininstitute.org.
