Financial Aid 2023
NEED-BASED FINANCIAL AID
It is our desire that no child or family miss out on a camp experience at Hickory Cove because of financial circumstances. Hickory Cove financial aid is made possible every year through the generous donations of individuals and organizations to our 19:14 Scholarship Fund. We are thrilled to be able to provide need-based financial aid each year so children and families can experience camp and receive an opportunity to grow closer to God!
Although we try to meet the needs of all families who apply, financial aid is based upon availability of funds; therefore, financial aid will only be provided on a first-come, first-served basis for qualifying families. The following is taken into consideration when determining if a family qualifies for financial aid assistance: income, household size, commitments fulfilled for previously approved Hickory Cove financial aid (if applicable), and individual circumstances. Helping us understand these circumstances will allow us to make a better decision regarding your request. NOTE: Your financial information will be kept confidential.
The financial aid application is to be filled out by the parent or guardian of the camper (unless camper is 18 or older) applying for assistance. The application fee for each camper is due during online checkout regardless of requesting financial assistance or not. If approved for financial aid, the due date for any remaining balance will be included in the applicant’s approval notification.
