Access matters
Whaleback’s public financial-aid page says the mountain offers assistance to families or individuals in need so that people can participate regardless of financial status.
How the current public process works
Whaleback currently asks applicants to email whalebackfinancialaid@gmail.com.
The public page asks applicants to include:
- your name, phone number, mailing address, and email address
- the athlete’s name and age
- your relationship to the athlete, such as parent, grandparent, or guardian
- a specific description of the request
Examples the public page gives
The public page says requests may relate to things such as:
- season passes
- after-school or school-based programs
- rental equipment
- other Whaleback learning programs
- vacation camps
What happens next
Whaleback says requests are processed in the order received, and that someone from the team will follow up by phone before any offer is finalized. In other words: include a working phone number.
A respectful note
Financial aid pages should feel straightforward and dignified. If you are unsure whether your request fits, ask anyway. The mission of the mountain is clearly tied to access.
