Campership Application
The purpose of the campership fund is to enable youth, adults, and families in financial need to hear of Christ’s love through a camp or retreat experience at Camp Perkins.
- Please fill out a SEPARATE request for each person and each camp (unless it is for a family retreat).
- Participant ideally will be registered with the deposit before a campership will be considered. (2025 update: if it's important for you to know how much you'd receive in aid before you can register, please apply, and we'll contact you about the amount. We don't want uncertainty about the campership amount to stand in the way of your child coming to camp!)
- Applications must be received 30 days prior to the program.
- If amount requested exceeds $75 for Summer Camp or week-long Family Camp; $50 for a 2 or 3 night retreat, you must submit (by mail or upload here) a formal letter from a representative of your congregation, a teacher at your child’s school, or a member of a local organization attesting to your need for financial assistance. The letter should not be a recommendation of why the participant should attend the camp or retreat, but a testament to the financial need. The letter cannot be from a family member or friend. If you are unsure of who to ask for a letter, please contact the camp office.
- Additional Guidelines for Summer Camp financial aid requests:
- Applications for summer programs received by May 15th will receive priority.
- Assistance is for traditional camp program only. Additional fees for specialty camps, add-on activities, and Trading Post will not be covered.
