  3. Campership funds will only be awarded for the individual named on the application. Awarded camperships must be used for the 2023 camp.
  4. Priority will be given to families with financial need, where children would not be able to attend camp without scholarship support. This includes families with multiple children who may be unable to send all siblings to camp due to cost, members from low-socio economic homes and families who have extenuating financial circumstances.

  7. County 4-H staff will review applications. All information on the application will be kept confidential. Notice of camperships will be sent via e-mail.
