FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long will registration be open?
Registration will remain open until all student spaces are filled or until June 15th, whichever comes first.

Is there financial aid available?

As our camps are supported by our registered nonprofit, our financial aid offerings are directly affected by donation and external support. This means that financial aid options vary from year to year. This year we are happy to announce that we will be able to sponsor the tuition of 2 students and one family’s attendance. If you are interested in more information regarding this, feel free to reach out to us directly.

If you would like to help us support more young musicians in the future, a great place to start is our ‘Empower’ page.

Yes, for a small fee of $25 we will be offering a payment plan for your convenience. To secure registration, a fee of $125 per person and 25% of the total bill will be required at the time of registration.

What are my housing options?
As you register your family for OWMSI, you'll find a designated section on the registration form where you can make specific housing requests. A request may include preference to stay close-by to other families or to stay in a particular cabin. When creating housing assignments, we are careful to try to accommodate all requests, but can not guarantee, based on availability.

Available upgraded housing is away from the main campus. It is available for an additional cost and will need to be coordinated directly with the Ogontz Resort. If interested please email: info@ogontzwhitemountains.com.
