Scholarships
We'll Do Our Best To Help
Camp W has long been committed to making camp affordable for as many children as possible. Camperships (our term for financial aid) provide some assistance to families who cannot afford full tuition.
The Campership program is open to people of any race, color, or socioeconomic background. The amount awarded is based on the financial need of each family as well as the availability of funds.
The Campership awards given each year to registered families are chosen by a committee. The committee reviews all applications and determines how best to distribute the available funds. Depending on the volume of applications each year, it may not be possible to meet all requests for assistance.
This application must be submitted 30 or more days prior to the start date of program. Please allow for two weeks after submission for us to get back to you.
Please note: submitting a Campership form does not guarantee your space in any program. In order to hold your space, we require a deposit and completed Registration Form. If you are unable to submit a deposit or Registration Form, please give us a call at 802-490-5550, or email us at info@campw.org. Also submission deadlines must be met to be considered.

Bartering
Sometimes we are able to get creative with a family to find ways to get kids to camp. Bartering is only an option for a few kids a year, but it can be a very effective way to bridge financial gaps as we tap into skills or resources without a need for monetary exchange. Bartering reminds us of simpler times when we all worked together as a community to support one another in our skilled trades. Previous examples include maple syrup, homemade bread, carpentry work, garden development and tending, as well as beekeeping. How can we support one another?
