By offering financial support to campers and families who cannot otherwise afford to attend, Camp Nebagamon seeks to uphold a core value since 1929: this shall be a place of welcome for all. The Camperships program provides opportunities for kids from all backgrounds, including those historically underrepresented at Camp Nebagamon, to spend 4 or 8 weeks at Camp independent of their family’s financial circumstances. Campership applications are completed each year and awards are aligned with demonstrated financial need with families asked to contribute an amount toward the cost of Camp each year based on individual financial circumstances. To learn more about Camperships, and begin an application for a child, please email [email protected].
