Campership Fund

Create More Access to Nature & Help Change Lives

Each year, since 2017, over 10% of our campers attend camp at heavily reduced tuition or no tuition at all, made possible in part by the The Nature Place Campership Fund.  Often, when a camper joins via campership, they do so year after year, until they age out of camp. Many return as staff, and we see firsthand the positive impacts that camp has on these young people who would not have the opportunity otherwise. We want to ensure that we can keep inviting young people of diverse backgrounds to discover the wonders of nature, connection, adventure, and self-confidence – regardless of financial background.

Be Part of the Change – Create Champions for Nature, One Camper at a Time.


Join us as we make a difference in the lives of young people, giving them experiences that will change their future—and, in turn, change everything by shaping a brighter, greener world for all.

By making a donation through the American Camp Association, you will directly help the Nature Place sustain and grow equitable opportunities to attend camp. As a small, family-run camp, any and all support makes a direct impact on our campers.

If children grow up not knowing about nature and appreciating it, they will not understand it, and if they don’t understand it, they won’t protect it, and if they don’t protect it, who will?– David Attenborough
