What are Camperships?

Camp Scholarships, or “Camperships,” are offered to any family who regularly attends the La Verne Church of the Brethren (LVCOB) and has a child who plans on attending a Winter, Summer, or both Camps. Camperships cover ½ the cost of the early registration fee. Full scholarships are available too.

How Do I Get One?

A child or youth qualifies for a Campership when he or she completes the required number of “job hours” in service at the La Verne Church of the Brethren. Camperships will be counted in terms of “job hours” completed. Winter Camp requires 6 “job hours” and Summer Camp requires 12 “job hours”. All Camperships hours must be completed by the time a camper leaves for camp. To obtain a Campership application form, see Dawna or Janet, who can also help direct you to jobs that can be counted for “job hours”. Upon completion of the form, please return it to Dawna or Janet along with a note stating which camp the child or youth plans to attend.

Full Camperships

Full Camperships are available for interested families and cover the entire cost of the early registration fee. To qualify for a Full Campership, a camper needs to meet the same “job hours”, as described above, and also complete a short essay or an original drawing that describes “Why I Want to Go To Camp” to be completed before camp begins.

Who To Contact

If you have questions about or want to apply for a Campership, please contact Dawna Welch or Janet Ober at LVCOB. If you want to learn more about Camp La Verne, log on to the Camp website www.camplaverne.org. Contact Kathy Doramus for information about scholarships available from Camp La Verne.
