KENNOLYN CAMPS

Aunt Marion Campership & Uncle Max Campership
In honor of Kennolyn’s founders, and funded through generous donations from Kennolyn’s families.

Kirkwood Family Campership
Our first endowed family campership, which has now grown to two camperships awarded each summer.

Pat & Jack Veatch Family Campership
Endowed campership for children of a Kennolyn alumni (campers or staff). Pat was first a camper in 1948, and now sends her grandchildren to camp.

Verheijen Family Campership
Bart came to Kennolyn as a camper, at just 7 years old – from the Netherlands!  In his last summer on staff, determined to give another child the same life-altering experience he enjoyed, he donated his entire paycheck to the Foundation. It was so fulfilling, that he decided to endow his own campership!

Bella and Ilya Fishman Campership
Endowed campership in memory of Vicki Maroulis’ parents, who loved the outdoors and whose grandchildren learned to appreciate nature through their time as campers at Kennolyn.

Jeanette LeFevre 10 for 10 Campership
In celebration of her 10 years as a Kennolyn Camper, Jeanette pledged to give 10 campers the opportunity of camp, one camper each year for 10 years.

Chelsea Corey Campership
Chelsea was a camper and counselor at Kennolyn. Each year, her fellow staff members run marathons and other activities to raise funds that sponsor a camper to attend camp in Chelsea’s memory.

Connie Wadsworth Campership
Created in honor of the Foundation’s past president and her dedication to sending kids to camp.

Camper Store Account Campership

Each year we receive more applications than we have Camperships to award. Please be aware that if you are applying for multiple children in your family, and we are able to award a Campership to one of them, we do not guarantee Camperships for the other(s). In addition, we do not guarantee that if you’ve been awarded a Campership in a previous year that you will be awarded one again. Finally, all information on availability of camp sessions is at the sole discretion of the camp to which you are awarded the Campership.

If there are only certain sessions that work for your schedule, please check with the camp to inquire about availability before you apply. Campers must enroll separately with the participating camp and the Camperships are paid directly to the camp.
