Thank you for your interest in Avid4 Adventure's Financial Assistance Program for day camps and overnight camp. THIS APPLICATION IS CURRENTLY ONLY OPEN TO APPLICANTS FOR THE LEADERSHIP CAMP FOR HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS IN BOULDER, STUDENTS AT VHM CHRISTIAN ACADEMY, AND STUDENTS AT BANCROFT ELEMENTARY.

Avid4 Adventure strives to serve as many kids as possible through its financial assistance program.
