4 Elements Earth Education and its Fox Walkers youth programs offer partial scholarships each year. As a non-profit educational organization, we strive to meet the needs of our community, and we provide partial scholarships to approximately 15% of our participants. We are fortunate to have supporters both in our community and across the nation that enable us to offer scholarships to families needing financial assistance.

OUR GRATITUDE: For a second year, the United Auburn Indian Community provided a $5,000 grant to our Scholarship Program in 2019!
Program Fee: This is the actual cost of running the program for 4EEE
Scholarship Level 1, 15% Subsidy: For low income families that need financial assistance
Scholarship Level 2, 25% Subsidy: For very low income families that need financial assistance
Scholarship Level 3, 50% Subsidy: For extremely low income families that need financial assistance
4EEE / Fox Walker programs seem expensive. How much does the program actually cost? The program fee represents the actual cost per camper for our program and is between $8 and $14 an hour. In order to provide the best quality of 4EEE Instruction and Adventure, we maintain between 5:1 and 8:1 ratio of youth to mentors. That ratio means we can do real mentoring and adventuring, safely and outside. Paying for two staff (staff pay is $12 to $25 per hour) plus site fee and insurance adds up. It also adds value! If you break our program pricing down by the hour ($14 an hour for Program Fee to $7 for Scholarship Level 3), it might be less than you pay your babysitter.
