The application is simple. You’ll provide your name, email address, phone number, how many people are in your household, your annual household income, how much you can afford to pay for a summer vacation and your area of residence.

The company has stressed that this is not a contest, but that it is hoping to help as many families as it can, go on a vacation at a price they can afford.

All applications will be considered, but they must be submitted by June 4. 

The company will announce the families that have been chosen for the #PayWhatYouCan trips on June 7, the day before National Get Outside Day.
