A Campership is a financial scholarship for campers to enable them to attend one of the Baltimore-Washington Conference Summer Camp Programs. Applications are accepted beginning March 1st.
General Camperships – This application is open to any camper. (Campers who are not eligible for School Lunch Assistance). This campership will not cover the registration fee.
Hardship Camperships -- This application is open to campers who are eligible for School Lunch Assistance (SLA). This campership will not cover the registration fee.
Endowment Camperships – This application is open to campers whose families are in the greatest financial need and are receiving School Lunch Assistance. This may award between half or up to the full cost of camp, for both full and mini week programs. This campership WILL cover the registration fee.
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.
