The Bursary
Camp has the power to change lives. It builds confidence, independence, resilience and connections that can last a lifetime. We believe those opportunities should be open to everyone. The Access to Adventure Bursary from Camp America is designed to make camp more accessible.
We especially welcome applications from:
⚪ Those currently in care & care leavers
⚪ Young carers
⚪ Individuals from underrepresented communities
⚪ Those from underserved or lower-income backgrounds
We recognise that barriers can take many forms, and welcome applications from anyone who believes this support would make Camp America possible for them.
