If you think you qualify for a scholarship we recommend you contact us directly for a scholarship application before registering online. We can still do it if you register for iWalk online first, and a confirmation e-mail will come with a link to the scholarship application. A $20 per week application fee is still required to reserve your space in camp. On the on -line iWalk application payment, select pay in installments and pay $20 per week per camper. Upon receiving the confirmation e-mail, open the scholarship link and complete that application.
