As a non-profit organization, CampLife has limited funds for sponsoring children and families. We have established some guidelines in an effort to sponsor as many children as possible each year.
- All campers must complete the online registration process at www.camplife.org. A deposit of $50 must be paid in order to be eligible for sponsorship. This is the required minimum amount in order to complete the online application, as well as to be eligible for the CampLife Sponsor List.
- All campers in need sponsorship money must be registered on the CampLife Sponsor List. In order to place a child on the sponsorship list, please email youth@ggwo.org or call us at 443-451-1353 to provide some general information about the child and what funds will be necessary in order for them to attend camp. Early registrations have a greater chance of receiving sponsorship funds. Last minute requests will be considered, but are difficult to fulfill.
- All campers are expected to contribute as much as possible. Full sponsorship is very rare. Multiple payments can be made in any amount (large or small) throughout the year, which will contribute to lowering the overall balance due. The more effort a child puts forth, the more likely their sponsorship needs will be met. This system is to encourage parents and campers to participate in raising funds. Every little bit helps!
- Bus fees and any Camp Store goods cannot be covered by the Sponsorship program.
We also highly suggest that children and parents participate in fundraising on their own terms; teaming up with other parents and campers for off campus events has shown not only to be profitable, but it also instills a sense of responsibility and satisfaction in the campers. Car washes, sponsored walks and bake sales, among other events, have been very successful in the past Children can also raise funds by helping us with the set up and daily operation of the "Youth Booth" during the GGWO International Convention, which donates proceeds to CampLife every year. (There are limited spots available in the booth and we choose individuals based on their ability to help; the minimum age is 13). A credit will be donated towards individual CampLife accounts for each hour worked.
We are confident that with active participation in our Sponsorship Program and The Online Pay Ahead Payment Plan, your child will go to CampLife this year. We are excited with you to see each goal reached!
