Every Youth Can Scout. Every Scout Can Camp.
About
A campership is a financial award that helps a young person attend a summer camp. Camperships are usually need-based for youth who can't afford the full cost of camp. Camp4All supports Scouts by providing financial aid to ensure every Scout can experience the magic of camp, regardless of financial constraints. These scholarships foster growth, resilience, and lasting memories.
