How Much Does it Cost

Due to the generous support of hundreds of Washington businesses, the cost to each student is only $325 which covers meals, lodging and materials for the entire teen summer camp. If a teen or their family cannot afford the $325 fee, financial assistance may be available.

Program Cost Breakdown

Total Program Cost per student: $950.00*

* Students from outside of WA, OR, ID or AK are welcome to attend the Business program at the full program cost of $950.00 as the $625.00 sponsorships are from northwest businesses.

Refund Policy

  • A full refund is given if you cancel at least three weeks prior to the first day of your scheduled week.
  • A partial refund will be given if you cancel less than three weeks prior to the first day of your scheduled week. You will be refunded all but $50 of your registration fee.

  • Once your scheduled week of attendance begins, no refunds will be given except for valid medical reasons. If this is the case, your registration fee, less $100, will be returned.

Cancellations

If you must cancel for any reason, please notify us as soon as possible so that we may use your sponsorship for another student. Based upon program availability, we will gladly transfer you to another program or week.

Financial Assistance

Washington Business Week strives to make its programs available to as many students and families as possible, regardless of their ability to pay. For those who qualify, there is limited financial assistance available through the generous contributions of community organizations, businesses and individual friends of Business Week. It is available on a first-come, first-served basis and is limited to one program per student, per summer. The application deadline for financial assistance is May 1st unless funds are still available.

100% camperships are not awarded.  It is our belief that some portion of the registration fee, dependent upon the ability to pay, should be contributed by the applicant to provide a sense of commitment and responsibility towards attendance and participation in the program. Need additional help with the registration fee? Try contacting local businesses for additional assistance. Here are some materials which may help you:
