Financial Assistance

BB&N is honored to be able to offer financial assistance! Financial Aid is granted based on family income level using federal guidelines to determine need. We are currently working to secure additional partnerships with our surrounding communities and we hope to offer additional opportunities for financial assistance in the coming summers.  Stay tuned!

We Have 3 Ways to Receive Aid This Year!

Current BB&N Student

We are pleased to be able to support to our current BB&N students during the summer months as well. If your camper is a current BB&N student that also receives aid for tuition at BB&N (the school) we will match your school aid percent amount and apply it to your camp account:

  • You will be required to pay the deposit per camper and per camp week to reserve your space in camp.
  • BB&N Summer will provide our BB&N School Financial Aid Office with the list of Aid applicants based on your registration.
  • BB&N may contact you for more information as necessary.
  • BB&N will evaluate, make a determination, and notify BB&N Camp Office of the status of your request for assistance.
  • If the BB&N Financial Aid Office has provided an award to your family, they will coordinate with us here at Summer Camp directly to ensure that your aid is applied to your account expeditiously.
  • BB&N Summer Camp will notify your family either way via email once a determination has been made regarding your request for assistance.
  • BB&N contact: Summer@bbns.org
