THe Birchwood Wilderness Camp Scholarship Foundation
To give and receive the gift of Camp
As of 2022. Birchwood Wilderness Camp now operates a 501-C3 nonprofit foundation with the sole purpose of awarding scholarships to campers who otherwise would not be able to attend Birchwood. With a focus on BIPOC and low-income families, we aim to award a handful of scholarships each year. This year, we are raising funds to award four scholarships throughout the summer.
The BWC Scholarship Foundation is funded by donation from camp families, alumni, current and former staff, individuals, and foundations.
