Recognizing that the church camp experience is an effective and desirable extension of church and Sunday school teaching of fife in Jesus Christ, the Chelsea First United Methodist Church seeks to encourage participation for all who express an interest in camping by providing camperships to help defray the costs of attending camp.

Funds for camperships shall be attained through church-wide fundraisers occurring in the Spring and Fall.

All potential campers are expected to participate in making these fundraisers successful by helping with sales and delivery of these items. In addition to these a donation drive will take place in March.

CFUMC camperships shall be applicable only to those United Methodist camps included in the

Detroit Conference Camp Catalog.

Camperships shall be provided in the following amounts for United Methodist Camps:

- A campership in the amount of 1/2 the cost of camp for camp costs ranging from $50 - $199

- A campership in the amount of $100 for camp costs ranging from $200 - $299

- A campership in the amount of $150 for camp costs ranging from $300 - $399

- A campership in the amount of $200 for camp costs $400 and over

Camperships will not apply to Family Camps

Camperships shall be provided in the following amounts for Non-United Methodist Church Camps and will not be issued until after May 15:

- A campership in the amount of $25 for camp costs ranging from $50 - $100

- A campership in the amount of $50for camp costs ranging from $101 - $200

- A campership in the amount of $75 for camp costs ranging from $201 - $300

- A campership in the amount of $100 for camp costs $300 and over

Eligible campership recipients shall be:

- Members or constituents of Chelsea First United Methodist Church

- Children of members or constituents of Chelsea First United Methodist Church

Campers from outside the CFUMC family may receive a campership ranging from $50 to $100, depending on the chosen camp, on a one time basis if attending one of the approved camps in the company of one of the above listed eligible recipients. These campers will be encouraged to take part in the life of our church and to help raise funds for camperships the following year.

All persons receiving camperships are expected to participate in the church sponsored campership fundraisers at CFUMC.

A Camper Information Form is to be submitted along with the camp registration for all CFUMC campers.

Completed registration and information forms should be submitted to the church office where they will be processed and sent to the Detroit Conference Registrar along with a check for the appropriate campership amount. Remaining camp fees must be paid by the camper at least 2 weeks prior to the event. If campers want to receive the Early Bird Discount in addition to their campership, they will need to attach their check for the balance of the camp fee to the registration form and submit it to the church so that it can be postmarked by April 30, 2001 as paid in full.
