Give the Gift of Camp: Support the Camp Ondessonk Scholarship Fund

At Camp Ondessonk, we believe every child deserves the chance to experience the wonder of nature, the joy of friendship, and the growth that comes from stepping outside their comfort zone. The Scholarship Fund makes this possible by helping to ensure no child is turned away from a life-changing summer due to financial barriers.

Each year, hundreds of campers rely on scholarship assistance to attend Camp Ondessonk. With your help, we can continue to provide access to the Camp Ondessonk experience for all children who dream of a week in the woods.

One camper who received scholarship support shared:

“I love Camp O because it’s a place where I can meet a lot of new people, make new friends, learn and try new things, and be myself. In my previous years at Camp O, I stepped out of my comfort zone for the week, and made a lot of new friends, most of which I’m still close with. Everyone at Camp O, the campers, the counselors, the CITs, and staff, are all so nice and make the week very memorable. Camp Ondessonk is the perfect opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and be a leader.”

This powerful testimony is just one example of how Camp Ondessonk fosters confidence, leadership, and lifelong friendships. For so many young people, Camp is more than a week of fun, it’s a chance to discover who they are and who they want to become.

Your donation to the Scholarship Fund is an investment in the future of a child who may otherwise never get the chance to hike a trail, sing around a campfire, or sleep under the stars. Every gift, no matter the size, opens the door to a summer filled with growth, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
