Participating summer camps are located near San Francisco, CA, Los Angeles, CA, San Diego, CA, Atlanta, GA, Chicago, IL, Wichita, KS, Arlington, VA, and Seattle, WA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some camps already offer scholarships to families with financial needs, each has its own application process and deadline. ActivityHero\u2019s scholarship program allows families to apply for multiple summer camps with one application, reducing the application time and increasing the possibility that a scholarship will be available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have an amazing variety of summer camps, extracurricular activities and sports on ActivityHero,\u201d said Peggy Chang, Co-Founder and CEO of ActivityHero<\/a>, \u201cWe want all children to have access to high-quality summer experiences and benefit from the social and learning opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, summertime poses challenges for working parents to fill in the 11-12 weeks that school is out. \u201cMoms are most likely to take on the responsibility of finding childcare when kids are out of school,\u201d Chang said. \u201cAnd if there is a gap in childcare coverage, moms are often the ones that stay home with the kids, and this can impact their career. By providing an easy way to find camps, and connecting them with scholarships, we want to help moms reach their fullest potential in the workplace while their kids gain new experiences at camp.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the camps who are part of ActivityHero\u2019s scholarship program have never offered financial aid in the past. \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to offer scholarships but I didn\u2019t know how to start it,\u201c said CD Hullinger of CD\u2019s Art Studio. \u201cActivityHero\u2019s scholarship program makes it easy for me to offer a few spots without the administrative work.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Families can apply for a scholarship at ActivityHero.com<\/a>. Applications will be reviewed and scholarships will be awarded on a weekly basis. Scholarships are available for children ages 5-17. Household income and family size will determine full or partial scholarship eligibility. Cash contributions from donor<\/a> <\/a>families<\/a> will help more children attend summer camp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
