Camperships

Marblehead Rotary Club helps children of all ages to attend a broad variety of camps (day or overnight). Our goal, like your own, is to offer the child a positive, summer experience that will help him/her grow and have fun.

 

Only one application is needed for any number of children in your household. (Page 5 is where you list each child's individual camp request.) However, we do have a general rule that if any particular child has already received two camperships from our Rotary Club, we will not be offering any more to him or her. This allows us to share the camp opportunity with other children.

 

Likewise, in order to spread the available funds around to as many children as possible, we have a general rule of offering up to $500 per summer per child. In addition, we are asking that the family cover 20% of the tuition and registration costs put together. Of course, if you have special financial circumstances that make this especially difficult, please let me know when you return the application.

 

Please return this application to me when you are done, the sooner the better. Applications received after May 24, 2024 have less of a chance of being funded. We have a limited amount of funds this year and will consider applications on a first come, first serve basis. We plan to review each application as it is returned and will have some word back to you within 30 days of when we receive it. Please be aware that we will coordinate your request with ones you make to the Marblehead/Swampscott YMCA, the Marblehead Recreation, Park and Forestry Department and the Marblehead Middle School.

 

An application that is not fully completed will be returned for the missing information. You can send the completed application to:

 

Rotary Camperships
c/o Bishop Associates 
55 Village Street 
Marblehead, MA 01945 

 

If you have any questions, please give me a call at (781) 631-9000.

Sincerely,

 

Candy Bishop-Conlon, Chair
