Kingdom Kids is a non-profit organization which provides outdoor recreational opportunities to Northeast Kingdom children who would not otherwise have the chance to participate in these activities. We are a volunteer organization and rely entirely on donations and special events to support our scholarship programs. We partner with Burke Mountain in the winter to offer skiing and snowboarding scholarships, and with Kingdom Trails to offer membership scholarships. Applications are currently being accepted for Ski & Ride Scholarships for the 2023-24 season. Below you will find some additional information about our program and about the scholarship application process:
Our intent is to identify children who would not otherwise be able to participate in these sports without our support.
Scholarship Award winners receive a winter seasons pass to Burke Mountain and an annual Kingdom Trails year-round Membership.
If the applicant is in grades K-3 they may submit a drawing in place of, or in addition to, a written statement. Drawings can be emailed to: kingdomkids2003@gmail.com
All applications must be completed in full and must include the child's statement, guardian's statement, and a teacher/coach/advisor/doctor referral.
