Residential/Commuter Package Information

We will not be requesting payment until after you have been accepted to our program, but we would like to know now, so we can reserve your place, if you anticipate needing one of our 40 residential beds, or if you will be commuting to Newsroom by the Bay each day. *

Technology and Tools

Tell us what kinds of tools you will be bringing to camp so that we can anticipate and prepare for your technology needs. If you're not bringing tools, not to worry — you'll be able to check out laptops, iPads and digital cameras from the NBTB Tech Library. We'll also contact you with a list of free/recommended apps you can download before camp begins. *

Financial assistance

Newsroom by the Bay is committed to ensuring diversity in the classroom so that the newsrooms of tomorrow reflect our society as a whole. A limited amount of financial aid is available for students who qualify for the federal free and reduced price lunch program.  Details are available here.  Applications for campers requesting financial assistance are due March 1.

Billing Contact Information

Please make sure you include your student's name when making your payment so that we can properly credit your account.

School Information

School Journalism Program

We are interested in learning about your school's journalism program. We sometimes contact school journalism advisers to learn more about their programs and offer opportunities to collaborate with NBTB.  Please note that you do not need to be involved in a journalism program at your school to participate in Newsroom by the Bay.

Note: If parents/guardians will be traveling away from home while camp is in session, please list a responsible party who can be contacted in case of emergency. International students, please do not list your own phone number - provide one for a family member or a local contact instead.


Letter of Recommendation

In addition to this application, please ask your journalism adviser, guidance counselor or a teacher to write a short (250 words) letter of recommendation for you. Have him/her email your recommendation to newsroombythebay@gmail.com using an official school email address. Alternatively, your recommender may mail the letter on school letterhead to Newsroom by the Bay, P.O. Box 20105, Stanford, CA 94309. Applications are not complete until the recommendation is received. Clips of your work are not required unless we ask for them. If you are requesting financial aid, please ask your recommender to address this in his/her letter to us.
