Usdan’s friend referral matching program offers camp families encouragement to help grow our community.

For every new camper enrolled who was referred by your family you will have the option to:

A. receive a $100 tuition discount

B. donate your $100 discount to Usdan’s scholarship fund and help another Usdan family in need of tuition assistance

• every $100 donated will be matched by a generous donor

If you believe Usdan is a valuable place for children, we hope you will take a few minutes today to think of a child in your life who would thrive at camp and share our program with them.

SUNFLOWER SCHOLARSHIP

In an effort to assist the social and emotional well-being of children and families escaping conflict in Ukraine who are arriving in New York, Usdan is offering Ukrainian refugee children the opportunity to attend camp this summer on a full scholarship. 

Named after Ukraine's national flower, which has become a symbol of resistance, the Sunflower Scholarship is open to refugee children ages 5 to 18 for any session length this summer.

In addition, scholarships are available for the children of local residents who are housing Ukrainian refugee children. We hope to do all we can to alleviate the struggles these children face – to give them the opportunity to be in nature, join a welcoming community, connect with other students, and make art this summer. 

If you know a recently arrived Ukrainian child currently living on Long Island or in New York City who is in need of a summer camp experience, please reach out to us.
