  • Introduction

    The mission of the Special Education Foundation is to assist children with disabilities served by Special School District in St. Louis County achieve success in areas not supported by tax dollars or United Way. The “Kid-to-Camp” program is one of the Foundation’s most successful programs. Through this program, the Foundation provides financial assistance to parents so their child can attend summer camp.

    Special Education Foundation understands that bridging the instructional gap between summer and fall is critical and that the additional expense of a summer camp can be a burden for many. To that end, SEF picks up where tax dollars stop - providing camperships to students served by the Special School District of St. Louis County.

    • Campership awards are based on financial need and student benefit. The application MUST be complete.
    • Parent/guardian signatures and statement of financial need is required.

    • Two letters of recommendation are required – one must be from student’s SSD teacher.
    • Funding is for the camp fee only. Registration fees are not included.

    Selection Process:

    • Submission of an application does not guarantee funding.
    • Maximum amount for a campership award is $650.00.
