Subject: Scholarship Camps Opportunity


Dear Parents,
 
We need you help in recruiting deserving campers who can qualify for a 
scholarship!
 
We are so excited to report that after much hard work and planning, we are ready 
to release 2 exclusive camps that are targeting our Nation’s Capital’s most 
vulnerable population: Underserved youth.
 
Thanks to a wonderful partnership with National Park Service, we are able to 
offer a camp at Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens and one at Greenbelt Park 
which will each host 12 campers for week-long sessions between the hours of 9am 
and 4pm. Campers will be introduced to the wonderful world of environmental 
science and connect with their global environment through games and play. They 
will gain an understanding of their place in our Nation’s Capital as they impact 
their environment, whether natural, cultural, social or historic. Fishing, 
canoeing, and gardening are just a few of the activities the campers will be 
engaging in. Let’s give them a chance to engage in productive and educational 
activities this summer!
 
These camps are made possible by funds from the National Park Service and 
priority is given to families in need of the reduced fees. To register, parents 
should complete the scholarship application ($10 non-refundable fee). 
Applications are reviewed hourly during regular business hours and will be 
processed very quickly. The total fee for each camp session is $50 for camps 
that are typically between $400 and $500 per session!
 
If you know a deserving family in need, please forward this email to them. The 
link to register is HERE.
 
Please, call 202-488-0627 ext 236 should you have any questions.
 
Thank you kindly,
 
Anne Zuk
