Camperships

Camp Oak Hill Camperships

2024 Summer Camperships are being considered… click HERE to apply!

Financial hardships should not prevent a child from experiencing summer camp. We are fortunate enough to have a family of generous donors for our camper scholarship (“Campership”) fund. In 2019, we awarded 94 Camperships totaling $53,000, allowing each of those youth to be impacted by the Gospel!

The Campership application is open to any camper seeking financial assistance. Upon completion of the application, you must then register your camper online by choosing a week of camp. This is such a great opportunity for our organization to come alongside the many families that apply, and we need to ensure accountability on both ends so that every dollar is stewarded well to impact as many youth as possible.

Upon review of each application, the committee will determine the Campership amount we award based on eligibility requirements and the resources we have available. If the application does not meet the eligability requirements for a Campership to be awarded you may cancel your registration. Otherwise, we are happy to set up a payment plan with you if necessary (see more info in the FAQs below). 

FAQs

Q: I have multiple children who want to attend camp. Can I apply for a Campership for all of them?

A: Yes! You can certainly apply for a Campership for multiple campers, but each camper must have their own application.

Q: Can my camper receive a Campership for more than one session of camp? 

A: No, at this time each applicant will only receive one Campership per camp season. You will have to pay the full camp fee for any additional sessions of camp your camper wants to attend.

Q: I found out I am not eligible for a Campership. What are my options?

A: We would love to set up a payment plan with you so that you can pay the camp fee in smaller increments. To start this conversation, call the office (919-782-2888) and speak with a staff member. Please note: regardless, the full camp fee is due BEFORE your camper attends camp, so plan accordingly. 

Q: Will my Campership cover my camper’s entire camp fee?

A: Not necessarily. The amount awarded will be determined by your application and level of need. It is not uncommon for us award a Campership to cover half of the camper fee with parents paying the remaining amount. In addition, all campers are asked to cover the Camp Store fee.

Q: Will I need to pay any deposit or fees up front in order to submit my application for a campership?

A: No, but we may require a small deposit or payment to finalize your campership registration.

 

Q: Do you know of any additional means to receive financial support to get my camper to camp? 

A: If you live in Franklin County, NC, please reach out to info@campoakhill.org to inquire about the Happy Camper program.
