• Do you have sliding scale options or scholarships available?

  As a way to make camp more accessible for more families, we offer sliding scale pricing available upon request. Email emelina@lachuparosaespinoza.com about what sliding scale options are available at this time before starting your registration process. Please email Emelina about sliding scale options before completing the registration process as the price must be agreed upon beforehand. Sliding scale may not be available if you wait and ask about it after paying your deposit fee.

  For both sliding scale and payment plans you will still need to pay a $100 non-refundable deposit up front to hold your space. Select "payment plan" at check out and pay the $100 deposit. After completing this step you will get a follow up email to set up a payment plan that works for you. We can divide this into monthly, bi-weekly, or weekly payments and the amount of each payment will be dependent on how many weeks are left before your child's camp date starts. Please note that all camp registration costs must be paid in full before the start date of camp.

  At La ChupaRosa Espinoza, we believe deeply in community care and reciprocity. If you have the ability and would like to help sponsor a fellow camper, you can make an additional donation towards a scholarship fund at checkout. We will be able to offer families additional discounts on top of our sliding scale option through scholarship funds based on what incoming donations we have received for the season.
