We are excited to be able to offer full and partial scholarships for all of our programs!
We understand that living with Type 1 diabetes is expensive. We do everything in our power to make our programs as affordable as possible for our participants. The true cost for one camper to attend to attend Camp Morris is close to $1,500. Our camper fees are heavily subsidized thanks to the generosity of our donors, sponsors, and volunteers. We want EVERYONE to be able to experience the magic of camp!
How are scholarships determined?
