Admission Information & Process
As a cooperative community, we draw strength from both our diversity and our philosophical alignment. Our admissions process is designed to determine whether there is strong philosophical fit between prospective families and our community’s mission. Through phone conversations and Base Camp visits, program documents and relevant readings, we aim to provide prospective families with the information they need to commit with confidence. Families wishing to participate should understand and accept the responsibilities of membership, as discussed throughout this website and in our handbook.
Home Base budgets expenses closely and relies on all families to pay their tuition on time so we can meet our bills. Professional educators are hired to run this program and to work with families to support educational goals. Our tuition and payment schedule is outlined within the Enrollment Form/Commitment Letter, which families must complete and submit along with their deposit to hold their child’s spot in the program.

Financial Aid Scholarships
The Scholarship program seeks to increase the number of children enjoying outdoor experiences at New England Base Camp programs by providing financial assistance to participate in our programs. To be eligible, a family must complete this application form, including details regarding family situation.
It is expected that the family will fund some portion of the child’s expense; the Spirit of Adventure Council will strive to subsidize the remainder. As a rule of thumb, the Council is willing to support funding based on need.
- All applications must be received four weeks prior to the program – but the earlier the better and families will have a greater chance of larger disbursements the earlier they apply.
- All funds will be awarded based on need and available funds. All applications will be considered on a first come first served basis.
