Day Camp Scholarships

Ney Nature Center provides need-based scholarships for our Day Camps to families that qualify. If you wish to apply for a scholarship, you will need to:

1)  Complete the scholarship application.
2)  Attach one of the following qualifying documents:

  • A copy of the letter from your school district stating that you qualify for free or reduced lunches
  • Proof (photo or scan) of enrollment in a Minnesota assistance program such as:
    • EBT Card
    • eWIC Card
    • MHCP Card
    • Other assistance programs
  • For children in foster care: The foster parent should attach the letter from the county that tells us the child is in your care instead of the tax return.
  • A statement from you explaining why you want your child to attend camp at Ney Nature Center.

You can download the scholarship application below, complete the application, and send it in with the above document to PO Box 93, Henderson, MN 56044 or email it to info(at)neycenter.org. The information you provide on this form will be treated confidentially and will be used only to determine and verify eligibility for scholarship assistance.

After you apply, if you qualify, you will be notified regarding the amount of your award. Scholarships do not cover the entire cost of programs. Filling out this application does not reserve your spot in any camps. Camp registration is only complete after space has been confirmed and Ney Nature Center receives the registration fees. Please email us or call 507-357-8580 for program availability information or if you have any questions.
