Financial Aid
It is our desire to see every child experience a week of summer camp at Camp Gilead at least once in their lifetime! Donations from individuals and churches make these funds available to those who qualify. A limited amount of financial aid money is available for those who could not afford to come otherwise.
NOTE: All previous campers have been invited to participate in the Bible Lessons Program; therefore, returning campers will be awarded financial aid AFTER the Bible Lesson Scholarships are awarded to those campers who participated.
If you have received financial aid from us in the past, you are required to enroll your child in our Correspondence Lessons and have them complete 1 full course (8-10 lessons) before you qualify for financial aid again. First-time campers whose parents are in financial need will be given priority.
The Correspondence Program is our Scholarship Program!
The Bible Correspondence Lessons Program is a special way for children in grades 1-12 to study God’s word at home while earning a scholarship toward a week of summer camp at Camp Gilead.
By successfully completing a set of lessons, returning campers earn a $125 scholarship & first-time campers earn a FREE week of camp!
*The 2021 earned scholarships and financial aid were partially funded through an Impact Polk grant from the George W. Jenkins Fund within the GiveWell Community Foundation. #impactpolk
