Summer Matters - Valley Forge Educational Services

Enrollment Process

Limited financial assistance is available to eligible families. To apply for financial assistance, complete and return the Financial Information Form.

Note: Our programs may not be a good fit for some children who present with aggressive or oppositional behaviors, limited language skills, limited cognitive ability or limited self-care skills. They may best be served by a program that offers a higher level of individual support and/or is geared toward behavior modification.

Contact us at 610-296-6725 x115 to discuss whether or not our programs can meet your child’s needs.

We are happy to recommend an appropriate camp for your child if we believe they would best be served by another program.
