SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION

* NEW * DINO SCHOLARSHIPS

(Coupeville and South Whidbey

camps only)

In 2025, our partner Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County (BBBS) has agreed to offer some DINO (Dip In New Opportunities) scholarships to students attending WILASC's summer camp program in South Whidbey and Coupeville! These scholarships will cover 100% tuition for the campers attending a ful-day program. DINO scholarships are open to all to apply.

If you would like to apply for the DINO scholarships for WILASC’s summer camps, here are the next steps:

1- If your child is between 6-24 years old and are not yet a member of the DINO program, please fill out the DINO youth program application . Please mention WILASC for the question "How did you hear about Big Brothers, Big Sisters?"

2- The DINO scholarship will cover one FULL-DAY camp (ie 1 morning camp + 1 afternoon camp + lunch break) per student. Please browse our summer camp list in South Whidbey and sign up for the 2 camps of the same week (one morning, one afternoon +lunch break)

3- Use code these codes when you check out to receive the 100% DINO scholarships : DINOSW25 (for camps in South Whidbey) and DINOCV25 (for camps in Coupeville)

IMPORTANT NOTES:

The DINO scholarship program only covers for students age 6-24. If your child is not in this age range, we may still be able to offer scholarships but it will not be through DINO program! Please apply here instead.

The DINO scholarships only cover students enrolled in the FULL-DAY camps. If you only want to apply for scholarships for a half-day camp please apply through WILASC’s scholarship program instead.

One full-day scholarship per child. If the sibling also wants to join the camp with DINO scholarship: Each family can use the coupon only once for 2 camps (1 morning and 1 afternoon) per child, but we are able to manually add siblings from the same family to the DINO scholarship list. Just contact us so we can add the sibling’s name.

Please ensure that your child is available and interested in attending the camps. If they can’t show up please notify us so we can offer the scholarship opportunity to other students.

* NEW * FREE LUNCH BY WHIDBEY ISLAND NOURISHES

WHIDBEY ISLAND NOURISHES (WIN), has offered to provide FREE LUNCHES for students in need of lunch coverage to attend our summer camp program. Due to logistical challenges, these free lunches are only available for students attending camps at South Whidbey Community Center (SWCC).

An option to add a free lunch has been added to the morning camp listings at SWCC location. If you have not added this free lunch option during enrolment, you can add the lunch request here.

WIN is a local nonprofit (not related to WILASC) committed to providing access to nutritious food that supports healthy development of children and teens in South Whidbey.

Please note that WILASC is only helping to send the list of students requesting free lunch to WIN, who will prepare the lunches accordingly and send to SWCC each day for our students. WILASC does not offer these lunches ourselves, and we are not responsible for the menu or quality of these lunches. If you have special dietary requests or any questions, please contact WIN directly. WIN needs about a week's advance notice to prepare these lunches.
