Shelby Rotary Club Wants To Send Kids to Camp

The Shelby Rotary Club and the Oceana Community Foundation are pleased to offer the chance for Oceana youth to attend camp this summer. Camp experiences bring new skills and self-worth to our youth and build up the 4 C’s within them; compassion, contribution, commitment, and character.  The Rotary Club and Foundation donors realize this impact and work to ensure camp experiences are accessible to all, regardless of financial status.  Awards are capped at $250 per applicant, but higher requests will be evaluated according to available funding. All awards will be paid directly to the camps and are available for any type of camping focus – arts, sports, scouts, church, general, and leadership experiences.  Application is for one camp experience per child.  Preference is given to first-time requests. To apply for support, complete the quick, one page application!  Suggested deadline to apply is April 1, 2024.  Applications are available at all Oceana County schools, on the Foundation’s website at www.oceanafoundation.org, and at the Shelby Area District Library.  Questions can be directed to Tiffany Haight at haightfour@gmail.com or by calling 231-873-1859.
