Scholarships

We offer scholarships and tuition assistance for Camp Sawtooth, and we reserve spots in each class for scholarship students.

We encourage families who qualify to apply for assistance, even if a class is marked as full on our website. In many cases, financial aid and a reserved spot may still be available.

Sawtooth School for Visual Art is dedicated to offering high-quality creative arts instruction to students from all backgrounds. We firmly believe that financial circumstances should never be a barrier to accessing our arts programming.

Registration Policies

As a nonprofit with limited resources, we carefully plan classes, purchase supplies, and coordinate staffing based on registration numbers. Last-minute cancellations and transfers make it difficult to allocate resources effectively and can impact the experience for all campers.

Camp Sawtooth cancellations or class transfers MUST occur before FRIDAY, MAY 29, 2026, and will incur a $20 processing fee. No refunds are available after this date. To withdraw from a class, contact our Registrar at registrar@sawtooth.org or 336-723-7395.

Transferring between Camp classes will incur a $20 fee if made on or before May 29, 2026, regardless of the reason. Transfers after this date will not be honored.

During Camp, classes may be canceled or combined based on enrollment, and instructors may change. Participants will be notified by email of any cancellations and credited accordingly.

Parents and guardians must review the Rules + Consequences with their children before Camp begins. Refunds will not be issued for disciplinary removals.
