Creative Encounters Camp Bursaries
Children’s Foundation – Free to Grow Program
Creative Encounters has partnered with The Children’s Foundation of Guelph and Wellington to bring opportunities for financial assistance towards camp registration. This year, the financial assistance will be hosted through the Free to Grow program.
The Free to Grow Program nurtures the physical, social, emotional, and mental well-being of children and youth by funding recreational and life-skill opportunities such as sports, arts, camps, driver’s education training and leadership development.
Funding is available for families who meet all of the following guidelines:
- Have children and youth, ages 0 to 18 years old;
- Live in Guelph and Wellington County;
- And make less than the low-income cut-off, based on their family size.

Camp registration spots are unable to be held during Free to Grow application/wait period. Camp cancellation and transfer policies remain the same for Free to Grow applicants. Creative Encounters asks that guardians wait for F2G funding approval and subsequent communication from Creative Encounters prior to registering their camper for camp to avoid needing to cancel and re-register (thus avoiding the processing fee associated with a camp cancellation).
