SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION

·        The Conference Outdoor and Ministries office and some of the campsites have scholarship funds available to help children attend camp.

·        We will consider individual requests based on the need of the family.  We are not able to issue “blanket” scholarships to a particular church or for a particular event.

·        Scholarship requests must be received in our office a minimum of sixteen days before the event begins. 

·        Consider how much your church can help.  Our ideal formula is that the church pay 1/3, the family pay 1/3, and that 1/3 be requested from the scholarship fund.

·        Each family will be expected to pay at least a portion of the camp fee, even if it is a very nominal amount in extreme circumstances.  Generally the family will be expected to pay 1/3 to 1/2 of the cost of the camp.

·        Scholarships will not be awarded for a camper to attend more than one event per year, with the exception of youth service/leadership events (i.e., CIT and Acorn Buddies).

·        The scholarship cannot be used toward the required deposit; it will be applied to the amount due.

SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION PROCEDURES

·        A separate application form must be filled out for each individual.  Return to the Outdoor and Retreat Ministries office: 1309 N. Ballenger Hwy, Suite 1, Flint, MI, 48504:

·        Completed Campership request form.

·        Completed camp registration form (from the camp brochure), or a copy of the confirmation if the camper has already registered.

·        The $ 75 minimum deposit (unless the camper has already registered).  If it is not possible to send the full $75, please send as much of it as possible with an explanation.  We can complete the scholarship request without the full deposit, but cannot complete the camper registration for his/her camp event until the $75 deposit is received.

·        For additional information, or to request a scholarship application form, please call the camp registrar at 800-334-0544 ext 354.
