Camperships
We strive to provide every child with the opportunity to experience Camp Be’chol Lashon. Below you will find information about several camp scholarship opportunities. Please note: it’s best to apply early for camperships as some run out of funds quickly.

The Great Outdoors Wilderness Education Scholarship is for students who have incorporated the outdoors into their education, worldviews, and career goals in some meaningful way. Students who have worked as wilderness trip leaders, organized or participated in outdoor education sessions, spend significant time in nature on their own, have career aspirations in environmentalism and conservation, and more are all welcome to apply!
