Camperships

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, St. Joseph’s Youth Camp is able to offer a limited number of camperships to campers and CITs who are in need. If you’d like to help more children experience the magic of camp, please click here to donate to our Campership Fund!

We believe camp can be a life-changing experience and are committed to giving as many children as possible the opportunity to attend. However, please note that one year of scholarship support does not guarantee support in future years, as we aim to impact as many children as possible with the resources available.

When submitting your campership application, please ensure all fields are completed. You will receive an on-screen confirmation once your application is successfully submitted. If not, double-check that all required fields, marked with asterisks, have been filled out.

Nearly all camperships are awarded to low-income families, with exceptions made only in specific cases. St. Joseph’s Youth Camp internally evaluates applications based on the following criteria:

  1. Demonstrated low-income status through participation in programs such as Free and Reduced Lunch, SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), or similar.

  2. Extreme family or situational hardship.

Scholarships are awarded first to those in the greatest need to ensure a meaningful impact on low-income children. The number of camperships awarded depends on available funding, and we are rarely able to offer full scholarships. Please note that families enrolled in the ESA program are not eligible for additional scholarship support.

Our Summer 2025 campership application will be open through Saturday, November 30th.
