Since opening our doors in 2000, Two Coyotes Wilderness School has prioritized offering financial assistance to ensure access to our transformative outdoor experiences to all families, regardless of income. Historically, we have done this by keeping tuition lower than the actual cost of programs and absorbing the cost of scholarships when there was no dedicated funding available. As we begin to write the next 25 years of our story, we are committed to ensuring the financial sustainability of the organization and growing a vibrant, inclusive community where all families are welcome.
In the spirit of reciprocity and community care, we are introducing a tiered equitable pricing model. Through this pricing model, we are actively seeking partnership with families in our community by asking those who are able to commit to paying more, so that those who must pay less may still access the deep wisdom and teachings of the natural world. Choose the “Partner” tier when you register for summer camp in order to support other families in our community, or the “Vision Keeper” tier to include a contribution towards our vision for the next 25 years.
In addition, we will continue to engage in fundraising activities, seeking the support of individual donors and foundations to help guarantee that nature connection is a right, not a privilege, and remains accessible to all families. Donate today as we raise $80,000 for our scholarship fund in 2026!
Summer 2026
Starting with Summer 2026, camp will be offered with the following equitable pricing tiers:
– Supporter: Choose this tier if you are able to consistently meet your family’s basic needs and have some expendable income. This tier covers the actual cost of Two Coyotes programs.
– Partner: Choose this tier if you have financial ease and abundance (e.g. investments, inherited wealth, access to family resources). This tier covers the actual cost of Two Coyotes programs and contributes towards another family’s tuition.
– Vision Keeper: Choose this tier if you have financial ease and abundance (e.g. investments, inherited wealth, access to family resources). This tier covers the actual cost of Two Coyotes programs, contributes towards another family’s tuition, and invests in our larger vision.
– Friend: Choose this tier if you struggle to meet your family’s basic needs at times. This tier offers a discount on the cost of Two Coyotes programs.
When you register, you will pay a non-refundable deposit to secure your camp sessions. You can choose to either pay in full or set up a monthly payment plan.
Summer Financial Aid
Anyone who is applying for a scholarship this year will do so via our Summer Camp 2026 Scholarship Form.
For financial aid, there are two options:
- 1. You can complete the scholarship application only. This does not require the deposit of $150/camp week, BUT it means that you will not be securing a spot in camp. Rather, as scholarship money becomes available (depending on the number of people who choose the Partner or Vision Keeper tier), we will be in touch with families who have completed the scholarship form in the order that they completed it in and we will let you know how much funding is available and which camp weeks have spaces available. (You are able to indicate which camp weeks you’d most prefer on the scholarship form, so we will try to get you into those weeks, but there is no guarantee.)
- 2. You can register your children as usual through Campbrain and pay the $150 deposit for each camp week in order to secure spots, and THEN complete the scholarship form. This would guarantee your spot, but also allow you to receive financial aid IF it becomes available. Please remember that we cannot guarantee aid and, even if we are not able to offer financial aid to your family, deposits are non-refundable. (If you choose this option, you would choose the Friend tier during registration.)

School Year 25/26 Financial Aid
The following scholarship application process remains in place for the remainder of the 25/26 School Year and is subject to change in the future.
Scholarship applications are part of the registration process on CampBrain. Your application will ask you for the following information:
– Amount requested
– Household income
– Number of people in household
– An optional, personal statement explaining why this nature connection program is meaningful to you
– An optional, open-ended statement to explain any extenuating circumstances
You will need to pay a reduced deposit to register and reserve your spot when you request a scholarship. Please register by the deadline listed below in order to qualify for a scholarship, or contact Dani directly via email after the deadline has passed to see if funds are still available. Scholarships are subject to change if there are changes to your enrollment. They are non-refundable, non-transferable, and do not roll over.
You will hear back from us within 2 weeks of the scholarship deadline and we require that you accept your award by setting up a payment within 24 hours of notification. Scholarship requests are due by July 1st for all fall programs, November 28th for all winter programs, and February 6th for all spring programs.
