6 Campership Applications While the Scout camp experience is one of the most affordable options available to parents, Scouts facing particular financial hardship may need support. This is why Five Rivers Council offers camping scholarships, or Camperships. Campership applications are available for all registered Scouts who live within the Five Rivers Council who have a financial need. Funding for up to half the early bird fee may be available. Contact the Scout Shop for applications and information. Camp Staff Opportunities One of the best ways to maximize the camp experience is to stay all summer as a staff member. Youth at least 15 years old (by June 1st) and adults 18 years of age or older are welcome to apply for a position by filling out the staff application found on /camping or by contacting the Camp office directly.
