Funding Camperships

With your support, SCOPE is partnering with 67 nonprofit, American Camp Association (ACA) accredited, resident camps in the summer of 2024 to provide over 1,300 camperships to children of families who otherwise could not afford a camp experience for their child.

$1,500 sends a child to camp in the Northeast for 2 weeks; $750 in the Midwest, Southeast, and Southwest.

Children enrolled in school, ages 7-16 and qualify for the USDA Free or Reduced Lunch Program are eligible to apply for SCOPE campership support.

SCOPE Partner Camps

In 2024, SCOPE is partnering with 67 different nonprofit, overnight summer camps around the United States, accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA).

Each SCOPE partner camp is required to maintain compliance with ACA standards, accept campers at agreed upon SCOPE allocated tuition cost and refrain from asking assisted families for any additional fees.

SCOPE partner camps recruit campers through their community partnerships by providing SCOPE campership applications to families that meet the requirements for SCOPE funding.
