Making Camp More Available
Learn More About Our Camper Scholarships
Camp Live Oak strives to make camp available to all campers, regardless of means. Aside from income, we look at the number of children in the household and extenuating factors such as family member illness, family members in college, and so on. Through the Camper Scholarship program, Camp Live Oak strives to provide a camp experience to campers of differing social, cultural, and economic groups that might not normally be seen in Camp Live Oak’s camper population. Camp Live Oak does not and shall not discriminate based on race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of its activities or operations. Camper scholarships are based on space availability and completion of documentation as well as the availability of funds for the program. No other discounts or promotions may be used with camper scholarships.
