Financial Aid
We want to make the magic of Camp Winnarainbow work for your family!
We know families are working hard to provide fun and valuable experiences for their children. Camp Winnarainbow provides a couple different pathways to request financial assistance for summer camp tuition.
Payment Plans
Any family may request a zero-interest, time-payment plan to finance tuition. Register your camper for the session(s) of your choice and email the office within one week of enrollment to request a time payment contract. Indicate the amount you want to pay monthly and the payment date and return to the office to set up the schedule.
Financial Aid Grants
If the cost of Camp Winnarainbow tuition is inaccessible to your family, we offer tuition assistance on an application basis. If you want to be screened to receive financial aid, do NOT register your camper through the online system. Please follow the steps below, or reach out to arainbow@mcn.org for more detailed information.
How To Apply
The purpose of our financial aid is to assist families who would not otherwise have the financial means to come to Camp Winnarainbow. Financial assistance is granted by a committee of CWR alumni and administrators, based on a family’s need and on our fund availability.
Applications for financial aid for summer 2025 closed on February 2nd. If you missed that deadline and would like to speak with someone from our office about joining the financial aid waitlist, please send an email to arainbow@mcn.org as soon as possible.
