Mountain Stewards Summer Camp Payment Policy

We believe it is vital for everyone, regardless of means, to have access to wild places, high-quality experiential education, and meaningful stewardship opportunities. Thanks to the generosity of private donors, we are able to provide all West Virginia youth this experience at a reduced rate (see program page for specific price per course). A limited amount of need based scholarships are available to West Virginia families to help further reduce the cost. We require a $75.00 deposit at the time of registration for all participants. We encourage families that are able to make an additional donation above the minimum cost to please do so. Your tax-deductible donation will be used to provide this meaningful summer program to more youth.
