It is our goal at Clearwater Forest that no camper who wishes to camp will be denied due to financial limitations.  Last year over 200 scholarships were given totaling nearly $16,000.  At least one of every four campers in our summer programs received financial assistance to attend camp.  We all know that there are many families facing serious financial pressures and we want to make sure that camp is a possibility for every person who wishes to attend.
 
If you are a family wondering if you can afford to send your child to camp this summer, I encourage you to apply for a scholarship.  To apply, please go to our web site at www.clearwaterforest.org  and print off a scholarship application under the 2009 Summer Camps tab.
 
If you are a family that has the means to help build our scholarship fund, I ask that you consider making a special gift this year to help make camp possible for another family that may be in need.  We do not have enough in our scholarship fund to cover all the requests that we project for this summer.  Our goal is to raise $20,000 for our Scholarship Fund by June 14th which is the first day of summer camp.
 
Thanks for considering a gift to our Scholarship Fund so that camp is a possibility for everyone. 
 
David Jeremiason, Executive Director
