Camp Fire and Camp Birchrock believe all youth should be able to have a traditional camp experience, regardless of their families’ financial standing. The Campership fund makes camp a reality by providing scholarships to families seeking help with camp fees. This fund is supported entirely by donations from individuals, businesses, and local organizations as well as Northwoods United Way grant funding. These donors see how important camp can be to a young person.
Campership funds are disbursed on a first come, first served basis and can be applied to Day Camp Sessions, Resident Camp Sessions or both. We ask that families contribute a portion of total fees if possible, and typically offer scholarships covering between 25% and 75% of camp costs, though a limited number of full scholarships are occasionally awarded based on need.
