**Because we make a long-term commitment to our families, and the number of new children is always dependent on how many return, we are not able to take any new families for 2025.
Wildflower considers applications from families in the Greater Boston area with children between 5 – 18 years of age who have lost one or both parents.
We are sensitive to the special circumstances that often result after the loss of a parent. As part of our application process, we consider numerous factors, including a family’s need for, and interest in, summer programming, interest in being part of the Wildflower community, and financial need.
Families will be asked to provide the name and contact information of a professional reference who can provide supporting information. We will also require a recent 1040 (or equivalent).
Scholarships are provided for summer camps (both day and overnight) and other summer enrichment programs. Children may attend a camp of their own choosing or we can help identify summer programming as needed.
For questions about the application process or how to refer a family, please email our Program Director, Diane Gardner.
To apply for Wildflower support, please complete the information below. Please note that although we are unable to consider applicants for Summer 2025, we encourage you to contact us so that we can consider your family for Summer 2026. Please refer to our Resources page for additional resources.
Wildflower does not and shall not discriminate based on race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, or sexual orientation in any of our activities or operations. We are committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all members of our staff, clients, volunteers, partners, and donors.
