Camperships / Scholarships
Summer camp is powerful – it has the ability to develop character and change lives in important ways. Now more than ever, children need the life skills, experiences, and time in nature that camp provides. We believe camp is for everyone!
The DCWC Campership Program gives children from underserved communities the life-changing experience of summer camp. Thanks to our donors, in 2024 we provided eight campers full or partial camperships. We hope to increase that number for 2025.
Your tax-deductible donation to the DCWC Campership Program will help send deserving children to Deer Crossing Wilderness Camp. We greatly appreciate any level of support!
You can donate online or donate to the Campership Fund by check. Checks can be made payable to the Deer Crossing Wilderness Camp/ ACA Campership Fund, and mailed to our office. Within a few weeks of making a donation, you will receive a tax receipt from DCWC. Please contact us at 650-369-4382 or by email for more information on the DCWC Campership Program.
