Thanks to generous donations from community organizations and individuals, we will again have need-based scholarships available for students to attend Bright Lights camps this summer.
So how does the program work?
Starting when our camp registration opens on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026 at 8:00 AM, go to BrightLights.org and click on the “Register” button. Then select the camp/camps your student(s) would like to take. Each student is eligible for one scholarship that can be used toward either one half-day or one full-day Summer 2026 camp. Scholarships are available on a first-come, first-served basis for as long as funds are available.
The deadline to apply for a scholarship is May 1, 2026.
During the registration process, on the Student Information Form, you will be asked if you want to apply for a scholarship. Answer “yes” and you may submit one scholarship application per student. Note that the camp you are registering for must have open spots – scholarships cannot be applied to camps that have a waitlist. So be sure to have a second choice camp in mind, should you need it.
A $10 deposit (plus any fees associated with the camp) will be collected upon checkout. Be sure to enter the discount code you are given for each student during checkout.
Please note that the exact amount of your awarded scholarship will be based on financial need, and financial documents may be requested during the scholarship review process.
Your student’s spot in the camp is reserved while your application is being reviewed.
You will be notified of your awarded amount within 10 days of your registration. If you are not awarded a scholarship, you may choose to cancel your registration, and the deposit will be refunded. Any remaining balance will be due on Friday, May 8, 2026.
Further details about our scholarship program can be found on our website.
More information about our summer camps can be found at BrightLights.org. The schedule of camps will be posted in the first part of February, so be sure to check back and make a list with your kids of which camps they are interested in!
