NH students deserve a great summer.

The New Hampshire Department of Education is partnering with New Hampshire camps and school-age summer programs across the state to offer students the unique opportunity to move beyond COVID-19 and be a kid again. Students of all ages, backgrounds and abilities benefit from exposure to short-term summer enrichment programs, including in the areas of challenge, friend-making, positivity, and emotional safety. These are all things that New Hampshire camps and school-age programs do best.

Space is limited.

Camp fee eligibility

Eligible students’ participation in the program will be prioritized as follows:

  • Priority 1: Students with a documented disability and students from families earning less than 250% of the federal poverty can participate in the summer enrichment program on a first-come, first-served basis until 75% of the program allocation ($1.5 million) is drawn down or 30 days after the application period, whichever comes first
  • Priority 2: At that point, students from families earning less than 400% of the federal poverty are also eligible on a first-come, first-served basis until the entire program allocation is drawn down
  • Priority 3: Additional GEER funds allocations will be sought if demand for the program is strong

The contractor ClassWallet will provide a digital wallet that will facilitate families’ payment of camp fees.
