What is a Campership?
A Campership is a financial scholarship to enable children and youth to attend one of the Baltimore-Washington Conference Summer Camp Programs at West River Center and Manidokan Camp & Retreat Center.
Who can apply for Camperships?
Any church (UMC or other) may apply for Camperships. We feel that our ministry is an extension of the ministry of the local church; campers may have a wonderful experience at one week of camp, yet in order to reap all the benefits of that experience, campers need nurturing and guidance in their Christian growth that their local church can provide all year long.
For this reason we do not allow individual families to apply on their own. Please get involved in your local church and ask your pastor or Camping Advocate to complete an application on your behalf.
