Camp Blodgett Impact: Camperships
Camp Blodgett is West Michigan’s only public summer camp specifically designed for children facing poverty, with 75% of our campers coming for $80 or less for one week of camp. Since 1921, community members like you have invested in our annual Campership Campaign ensuring 700 local kids have access to a life-changing week of self-esteem building adventures on Lake Michigan.
With the average summer camp costing over $750 each week, low-income families have limited access to this recreational and educational experience. We exist to make sure all kids, regardless of income, experience the empowerment of summer camp. As part of Camp Blodgett's commitment to ensure that summer camp is accessible to ALL children, all fees are based on a sliding scale so that cost is never a barrier to a child getting to camp.
Community Support Fuels Our Mission.

Every activity at camp has a financial cost, from the tie-dye powder we use every day to brightly color our camper t-shirts to the basketballs or craft supplies we purchase for a workshop.
