The Walden West Foundation believes deeply that ALL children should experience the power of outdoor learning. Thus, a primary focus of the Foundation is to provide tuition assistance, reducing the cost by nearly 40% for students who otherwise may not be able to afford to attend science camp.
Your 100% tax-deductible donations directly provide financial support for children of Santa Clara County to attend Walden West Outdoor School as well as provide support for program enhancements that benefit all campers.
Join us in supporting outdoor learning by sending a tax-deductible donation today.
- Gifts in any amount are appreciated!
- A gift of $150 provides 1 deserving student with tuition assistance to science camp.
- A gift of $750 provides 5 deserving students with tuition assistance to science camp.
