We have been awarding camperships since 1962 – more than 10,000 in all!
At Washtenaw Camp Placement (WCP), our mission is to connect youth to sleepaway summer camps through community support, providing camperships (camp scholarships and additional benefits) to those who would not otherwise have this opportunity. We partner with local organizations, school districts, and YMCA camps located across Michigan to ensure that each camper has a successful, enjoyable camp experience. Resident summer camp offers a transformative experience that fosters students’ social, emotional, and physical growth.
Through our campership program, we make sleepaway camp accessible to all youth in Washtenaw County, Michigan. We are dedicated to eliminating inequality, discrimination, and racism. Recognizing that the lifelong benefits of camp have too often been available mainly to the privileged, we are committed to breaking this cycle.
In addition to financial support, we prepare each camper by providing orientation, essential supplies and gear, paperwork assistance, and transportation, ensuring that camp is a fully accessible, rewarding experience for every student.
