AFFORDING KROKA

Kroka Expeditions is committed to allowing participation for everyone, regardless of income. It is important for us to communicate to you that this commitment requires a sacrifice from everyone in the Kroka community: lower salaries, long hours, foregoing common benefits, and uncounted volunteer hours are some of the things we do to allow everyone into the program. This is so important to us. It is essential for the well being of Kroka that every family consciously pays as much as they can.

1. SLIDING SCALE FEE: Open to everyone. This is an honor-based form of financial aid.
   
2. PAYMENT PLANS: Payment plans can be arranged by calling our office at 603-835-9087.
   
3. SCHOLARSHIPS: Scholarship applications should be completed and mailed in with your registration form and must be accompanied by a $100 deposit. Applications are available online at www.kroka.org or by calling us at 603-835-9087. Eligibility is based on income and family circumstances. Your deposit will be refunded if you are not satisfied with your scholarship amount. Scholarship application deadline is April 1, and all scholarship decisions will be made by April 30.
   
4. PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR OTHERS : Kroka Expeditions was founded on the important principle of serving children and families regardless of income. In the summer of 2007, we contributed over $64,500 in financial aid to families. In the spirit of supporting Kroka’s mission we ask you to make a tax-deductible donation to our scholarship fund. All the money in our scholarship fund offsets the tuition reductions on our sliding scale fee and provides financial aid that is needed by families beyond the sliding scale. Again, all donations to the scholarship fund are fully tax-deductible. Thank you!

POLICIES

CANCELLATION POLICY: Your deposit is non refundable (unless you are not satisfied with the scholarship amount). Any tuition payments made beyond the deposit, will be refunded, only when cancellation occurs prior to April 1st. In some cases, such as cancellation due to unexpected injury, tuition may be credited toward the following year.

REFUNDS: There are no refunds issued for students dismissed from the program due to illness or disciplinary reasons, or for students who choose to withdraw early from the program already in session. If a student must leave due to an injury incurred while on the program, a prorated portion of the tuition will be refunded.

Kroka Expeditions does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, age, sexual orientation, religion or national origin.

CHOOSING A PROGRAM

• For more information about a particular program, please call someone from our reference list, or by calling the office.
  We welcome your questions by phone (603) 835-9087, or email lbkroka@sover.net
• It is essential that you read through the Parent/Student Handbook and Student Contract (for students age 13+ only) before applying. They are available online., or by calling the office, (603)835-9087.
• Please remember that top physical fitness is rarely a requirement for our programs. It is important to honestly and comfortably accept
  your present fitness level and to welcome new challenges. Mental discipline, hard work, compassion, and a willingness to push your
  limits are much more important than big muscles.
  

HOW MANY PROGRAMS SHOULD I COME FOR IN ONE SUMMER?
The majority of our students come for one or two programs each summer and stay with Kroka for up to six weeks. If you are considering more
than one program, please contact us for suggestions on which combinations will work best and to arrange your stay between sessions.

MATERIALS FEE: Some programs will incur a small extra fee for project materials, such as paddle and moccasin making.
