Campership Program

Part of Clearwater Camp’s mission as a non-profit is to offer financial assistance (also known as “camperships”) to families that might not otherwise be able to afford the meaningful overnight camp experience we provide along the shores of Tomahawk Lake.

We believe every girl should have the chance to experience the magic of camp. That’s why we created the Campership program in 2011—to help make camp more accessible for both new and returning families.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, Camperships have supported many families over the years. As interest grows, we’re working hard to ensure we can continue helping as many girls as possible. If you have requested a campership in past years, you’ll notice a few updates to our request form; we are always evolving and evaluating our process to ensure our distribution of funds is fair and thoughtful.

At this time, we are able to provide partial assistance, with a maximum request of 50% of the published tuition for one (1) 3-½ week session. Families can request more, including support for full session and/or extended programs, but those requests may only be considered if funds remain after all requests have been reviewed. We warmly encourage all families who need financial support to apply—and to consider their request with both their needs and the needs of other families in mind.

How to Apply for a Campership

1. Complete the regular camper application process through our online portal, Camp Minder.
2. The Campership Request form will be available in your Camp Minder account, under “Forms & Documents”. If sending more than one child to camp, please submit a separate request form for each camper.
3. Campership requests will be considered in two review cycles as funds allow, based on submission deadlines of January 1 and March 1, 2026. Families will be notified of their awarded amount by January 31, and March 31, 2026, respectively. Any requests received after March 1 will only be considered if funds remain.
4. Any amount awarded must be used in the current camp season and may not be carried over to future years.

The Clearwater Campership program is open to all without regard to race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, or religion.

If you or someone you know would be interested in our campership program, please contact the camp office at 715-356-5030 or info@clearwatercamp.org for more information or fill out and submit our online Campership Application by March 1, 2026.
