FREE SUMMER CAMP INCENTIVES
Want to come to summer camp but can’t afford it right now? Does it seem as though, “you finally find something that you know will interest your daughter and yet financially it is not possible”? We understand. Times are so tough for everyone. There is no extra money for special things and for special wants.
Even with our failing economy, young people still need their own creative outlets to learn about life in a beautiful way. Learning about life entails good experiences as well as not so good ones. At Eagles’ Wings, we are feeling the “money crunch” the same as everyone else is, but we would feel an even greater void if we were not helping girls find themselves and God through the love of horses. At all costs, we want to work with your daughter and we have several ways of making her dreams come true and allowing her to have the summer of her life by providing the following incentives:
Work Scholarship Program (WSP)
Fundraising Sponsorship Sheet
Blazing Saddles Trail Ride
WSP + Fundraising Sponsorship Sheet = FREE CAMP
WORK SCHOLARSIP PROGRAM (WSP)
For a limited time & space only: This program offers anywhere from 20-35% work scholarships to any girl that desires to be a part of our programs. Everyone knows that unless you work for something you really want – you really don’t want it. It is the age old philosophy that has helped establish our country.
All during the month of April and May 2011 we will have “work Saturdays” scheduled to get a lot of stuff done. When your daughter comes out and works – she gets hours towards her “work scholarship grant”. She then applies those hours worked to the program of her choice – that coupled with the minimum payment will give her the funding she needs to attend camps, wilderness weekends or adopt a horse. Work hours will be equivalent to $6.00 hour wage. These hours will not be converted to real money – it will only apply toward grant money for her camp. Below is an outline of how it works:
