Comments from a few of our financial aid recipients...
"...I would like to thank you for providing me with the experience of a lifetime! I had more fun last summer than I have ever had in my entire life! I learned what it was like to be on my own, in new surroundings, having to find my own niche in the big picture"
"Camp changed me so much in a lot of ways all for the better"
"We sang at camp. At the last evening fire I sang a song all by myself.
..I wasn’t scared."
Introduction
Since 1968, Four Winds Westward Ho has offered financial aid to allow any child who wishes to come to camp the opportunity to do so. Each summer, approximately twenty percent of our campers attend on full or partial tuition grants.
Each applicant is carefully reviewed to assure that our funds are shared in a way which will benefit each child, and camp, the most. Campers who qualify may receive up to three years of financial aid.
The Four Winds*Westward Ho Board of Directors has determined that a substantial portion of the aid be given to children of parents working in the helping professions and to children of camp alumni. We are particularly anxious to meet the needs of these families who are able to pay a portion of, but not the full, tuition amount.

Our financial aid program would not be possible without generous donations, both large and small. Currently, we are working to create an endowment to fully fund all tuition grants awarded each summer. Donating to this worthy cause is easy – simply contact our Interim Development Director Arden Hofler at (206)-226-1413 or andy [at] fourwindscamp [dot] org.
