Education Bursary Fund

Making Nature Accessible To All

We strive to give everyone equal opportunity to learn and play in nature. The GCA Environmental Education Bursary Fund helps to reduce program, bus and camping-related costs for K-12 school groups, youth organizations and youth participants seeking financial aid to attend GCA programming.

FEE COVERAGE

Program Fees: Up to $12 per student per day.

Camping Fees: Up to 30% of costs.

Bus Fees: Available on request.

Daytrippers

Every student deserves the opportunity to visit unique places of learning, but not all can afford it. Daytrippers Children's Charity aims to remove financial barriers and enable enriched learning opportunities for in-need children across Canada. Daytrippers provides funding to help elementary students in lower-income and remote communities to experience learning opportunities from recognized educational and cultural institutions to help unlock their full potential.
