If you accept, a confirmation packet will be sent and due dates (including cancellation policies) described above apply. If you decide not to enroll your child, your deposit will be returned.

SCHOLARSHIPS
The Mountain believes that MountainCamp should be available to every youth, and we actively seek ongoing support for our scholarship fund. Requests for up to 50% of the camp cost will be considered, based on true need. We strongly encourage campers in need of financial support to also seek assistance from their congregations or other community organizations. To apply for a camper scholarship, you can call the Guest Services Office at 828-526-5838 ext. 0 for a copy of the Scholarship Application form or fill out the form on our website. Completed forms are due by March 15, 2008, sending it to the attention of the Scholarship Committee. Scholarship requests are kept confidential. Additional information on Scholarships can be found in the FAQ’s section on our website.
