Our Summer Camp Scholarships

 We encourage you to apply for all 3 of the scholarships listed here.

  • The Burnt Lake Foundation Scholarship Application (pdf). The Burnt Lake Foundation (BLF) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization based in Denver, Colorado and is operated by a few volunteer board members. Applications are due March 15 each year and recipients are announced March 30. Typical scholarships awarded are 30-50% of tuition, however, they may vary to any amount of tuition. If you’re applying for this scholarship, PLEASE notify Alpengirl as soon as your application is submitted so that we can follow-up with the scholarship on your behalf.
  • The Kid For The Wild Scholarship Information. The Kid for the Wild scholarship is available to campers age 12-16 and is a tribute to the memory and vision of Walkin' Jim Stotlz and his “kid for the wild” spirit. $400 is awarded to 2 Alpengirl recipients each year, applications are due March 30 and recipients are announced May 15. If you’re applying for this scholarship, PLEASE notify Alpengirl as soon as your application is submitted so that we can follow-up with the scholarship on your behalf.
  • The Alpengirl ACA Campership Application (pdf). The American Camp Association (ACA) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that accredits Alpengirl Camp. Individuals and organizations make financial contributions that are payable to ACA and are designated to the “Alpengirl Campership Fund.” Contributions are awarded to Alpengirl campers who have requested financial assistance and have been reviewed by Alpengirl Camp. Applications are accepted after January 1st each year (apply as early as possible) and recipients are announced at varying dates depending on the application pool and funding. Please consider making a CAMPERSHIP DONATION (tax deductible) that will assist girls in becoming Alpengirls! 

For ALL Listed Camp Scholarship Applications Above:

  1. Call Alpengirl to determine if there is space available at your session(s) of choice and to determine if the Alpengirl program is a good fit for your camper.
  2. Decide if you want to register for your space regardless of a scholarship awarded. If you want to make sure that there is a space saved for you at camp, you’ll need to register for camp online with a $700 deposit and all rules of registration are applied as normal (you’ll be reimbursed overpayments if you receive and accept a scholarship at a later date.) If you are not able to attend camp without a scholarship, you’ll need to wait to see if you are awarded a scholarship (and determine if the amount awarded is sufficient) before registering online.
  3. Submit the scholarship application along with any other forms or documents required by the application and ALWAYS keep copies of your submitted application materials. 
  4. Wait. The waiting time for the Alpengirl ACA Campership will vary. You may receive a phone call or email within just a few days of applying or you may be waiting several months to receive word of a scholarship decision. You may contact Alpengirl anytime for a scholarship update or session availability update.
