Financial Assistance

Focus on Nature is proud to partner with the Children’s Foundation and their Free to Grow Program.

The objective of this partnership is to remove the financial barriers in order for all youth to participate in summer camp and to maximize their outdoor opportunities through photography in their community.

The Children’s Foundation Free to Grow Program provides financial assistance for children in need so they can participate in recreational and life-skill development activities. We are proud to partner with this incredible organization to provide opportunities for many youth in our community. For more information about eligibility and how to apply, please click here.
