CAMPERSHIPS:

We are committed to making camp accessible to as many families as possible. To ensure we can continue to provide meaningful experiences for all campers while maintaining financial sustainability, we are introducing a three-week cap on camperships (camp scholarships) per camper this year.

This change allows us to extend our support to more families in need, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the joy and growth that camp provides.

We deeply appreciate your understanding and support as we strive to balance accessibility and sustainability. If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact us at info@lincolnsports.org.
