Camperships Available for 4-H Camp Shankitunk

DELAWARE COUNTY – 4-H Camp Shankitunk in Delhi is accepting applications for camperships (scholarships to attend camp) this summer.  There are several awards that are open to youth with varying eligibility requirements.  Campership amounts range from a $25 discount all the way up to covering the complete cost of camp ($500).  There are campership opportunities for 4-H members, farm families, Counselor in Training candidates, and even opportunities for youth who do not reside in Delaware County.  Youth must submit their application with a written statement on why they want to attend camp.  Campership Awards will be determined by the Camp Committee. 

 4-H Camp Shankitunk has been providing a summer camp experience for youth in Delaware County since 1927, so we invite you to apply and not let the cost of camp deter your child from joining in that experience, now more than ever.  Children ages 8-16 are eligible to attend.  Apply online or download an application at campshankitunk.org/camperships. To request more information or that a paper application be mailed to you, please email Shankitunk4hcamp@cornell.edu, or call (607) 865-6531. Donations to our scholarship fund in any amount are welcome!

The deadline to apply for a scholarship is March 1st.  Submit applications to Cornell Cooperative Extension Delaware County (Attn: 4-H Camp Shankitunk) at 34570 St. Hwy 10, Ste 2, Hamden, NY.
