Campership Campaign
Gift a child a life changing experience - Sponsor a Camper! While the true cost of camp per child is over $750, most of our families pay only $45 for their children to attend camp. Our commitment to making summer camp accessible to all families means that our unique sliding fee scale considers each family’s size and income level to determine their fees. Camp Blodgett remains the most affordable summer camp in West Michigan. By providing a Campership, you cover the costs of staffing, programming, facility expenses, and more for a child’s summer camp experience. Sponsorship
Join us in providing the youth of West Michigan with enriching and accessible summer camp experiences and cost-free, year-round programs at Camp Blodgett. Sponsorships play a vital role in our ability to do our work. Investing in Camp Blodgett’s Campership Campaign can reinforce your company’s brand in all the communities of Kent and Ottawa Counties for the entire year. General Operational Support
Gifts not designated otherwise will be used to support the important work and expenses that provide the kids of Camp Blodgett with high-quality programs and top-notch facilities year-round. Your gift may support any of our programs for youth, such as Day Camps or Young Leaders. Providing a gift for general operating expenses is a great way to make a big impact on Camp Blodgett from the shores of Lake Michigan to the city of Grand Rapids and beyond! |
