This a pilot program is created for donors who are looking to be more involved with KODA Camp by matching with a camper who is in need of financial assistance. 

 Often KODA Campers come to came with difficult circumstances. Over 30% of our KODA Campers attend KODA Camp Midwest with various scholarships, however the need for scholarships is great. The Adopt-A-Camper program allows all KODAs, regardless of their financial situation, to experience the growth KODA Camp Midwest provides for KODAs in their journey of identity and belonging. 

Thank you so much for your consideration!

How the program works:

A donor contacts KODA Camp  and lets KODA Camp know they are interested in donating to KODA Camp to adopt a camper. A camper fills out the application to apply to the program. The $200 deposit must be paid before consideration is made.  A donor can select a camper to sponsor or let the scholarship committee match the donor to the camper. The donor can chose to remain anonymous or public. KODA Camp understand the demand for camp scholarships is high, only a certain number of campers will match to the number of donors available. 

For Campers
