DocuSign Envelope ID: B55679E1-82FB-4A06-BBCF-6BC218E4CADA t A - continued <br /> Provider's Outside Agency Application <br /> MAIN APPLICATION <br /> Piedmont Wildlife Center has been offering camps to children, ages 4 to 18, from Orange, Durham, <br /> Chatham, and Wake counties for 12 years. Each year the number of children that attend our camps has <br /> grown. We now offer summer camps and intersession camps throughout the year in Durham and <br /> Raleigh, serving over 1100 children per year. This summer we will be offering camps at a third location, <br /> Blackwood Farm Park, between Chapel Hill and Hillsborough. Each year requests for scholarships have <br /> increased. In 2015 we awarded 70 full or partial scholarships, and turned down numerous children due to <br /> lackof funding. <br /> e) Other Pertinent Agency Information <br /> For the past four years we have run after school programs at some schools in Durham Public Schools <br /> and Chapel Hill Carrboro Community School System, and a 28 week homeschool program at Leigh Farm <br /> Park in Durham. Many of the students that participated in our after school programs ended up coming to <br /> our camps to strengthen their outdoor skills and be part of a community. We have received grant funding <br /> for the after school programs for the last four years; however, we feel we can make a much bigger impact <br /> during a camp week where we work with the students for 30 hours a week as opposed to 7 hours over a <br /> 7 week session in after school. Additionally, it takes an incredible amount of administrative support on top <br /> of teaching time for the after school program, making it extremely cost prohibitive. <br /> 3.
