Review for Washtenaw Camp Placement Association, Ann Arbor, MI, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Washtenaw Camp Placement Association was established by community leaders in 1962 as the coordinating agency for summer resident camp scholarships in Washtenaw County. It brings together schools and youth-serving agencies, camps with outstanding summer programs wishing to serve children from a broad range of backgrounds, and donors who desire to invest in the most vulnerable youth in the community. Decades of successful partnerships with accredited camps throughout Michigan has resulted in the awarding of more than 9,300 camperships. A campership is defined as one or two weeks of expense-paid resident summer camp, and supportive services such as clothing and gear, medical exams, and transportation. Applicants are referred by school personnel and social workers in agencies.
