Applications received by Thursday, March 15 will be given first priority. Applications received after that date will be assigned priority by the date of receipt (for mailed applications, we will use the postmark date). Dorm rooms and class space are limited and camp fills quickly. Please plan accordingly.

A deposit of $200 per person is payable with the application. If paid by check, the deposit will be cashed upon acceptance to the school.

If cancellation is necessary, $150 of the deposit is refundable through June 15, after which it is nonrefundable. Payment in full of all camp fees is due by June 15. After July 2 there will be no refunds of camp fees; however, you may receive credit for a tax-deductible donation to the Folk Arts Center.

A limited number of partial work exchange positions are available for campers who are at least 18 years old. The average work exchange award is $150. Indicate that you are interested in a work-study position on the application form and we will contact you with more information.
