Procedure
Scholarships are determined on a first-come, first-served individual basis.
To apply, you will need to complete the scholarship application.
In it, you will be given the opportunity to indicate your level of need. Since there is such a great need for scholarships, we ask that you contribute as much as possible towards your child's week or weekend of camp (camp is an investment in your child).
Please indicate which week or weekend you are requesting a scholarship for. Camp Gideon will hold 20% of our space each week for scholarship campers. Scholarships will remain available until all scholarship spots are filled, or all scholarship funds have been assigned.
Camp Gideon will award scholarships up to half of one camp week or weekend's fee per camper. (Each camper may receive one scholarship per calendar year.) Currently, "full" scholarships are awarded only to campers attending through current partnering ministries (Streetwise, Operation Evangelism, Prison Fellowship / Angel Tree, etc.).
