The purpose of the campership program is to provide financial assistance to deserving campers who would otherwise not be able to afford the camp attendance fees. The Mayflower Council, in administering funds provided by concerned individuals, foundations, and others, will act as good stewards by offering careful judgment in providing camperships and will act in complete confidence. All applications must be received by May 31st to be considered. Camperships are awarded based on need and first come, first served or until funds are exhausted. While the Mayflower council seeks to assist as many campers as possible, there is no guarantee of campership awards. To serve as many campers as possible, it is the policy of the Mayflower Council to only award a campership for one week per summer per camper.
