String Camp Scholarships
“
I really enjoy coming to string camp; learning all the new songs, meeting new friends in a musical world, not to mention those edible treasures from the Farmers Belly. I cannot put into words how delicious those meals are!

At String Camp a whole new world opened up to me that I was unaware of; a wonderful gathering of kind, like-minded people who wanted to get better at what they do. For someone relatively new to songwriting this was pure heaven and the extra spark I needed to keep those creative flames burning..I'm so lucky to be part of this spectrum of young and old musicians pursuing the same goals, and to tap into the knowledge of some very talented performers/instructors.

Ossipee Valley String Camp has been one of the highlights of my life! Being around musicians of all different ages and vibes has been transformative. It always pushes me to pick my instrument back up.

By the numbers...
In 2023, North Atlantic Arts awarded over $12,000 of scholarships, representing 22% of our total camp attendance. 3/4 of those scholarships were full-rides, and all were needs based, representing students from ages 13-70, from four states, with 1/2 of attendees being from rural areas of Maine and New Hampshire.
The North Atlantic Arts Alliance is a 501c3 organization based in rural south-western Maine. The Alliance works with private donors and charitable grant giving organizations to fund a robust scholarship program for all ages to ensure equal access to camp.
This program provides partial to full scholarships, and can even provide transportation, assistance for special needs students, and provides a youth coordinator at camp (daytime only-overnight must have chaperone), for students who are attending camp as day students from the local area.
If you or your organization would like to support this program, please get in touch.
