Programs & Priorities: McConnell Scholarship

This scholarship means everyone can afford to play on the lake.

Mike McConnell’s love for the lake inspired the scholarship fund in his name to support access to Lake Champlain for anyone in our community regardless of age, ability, race, religion, or economic circumstances.

Scholarship Application Process

  1. Register for the scholarship application for Youth Programs or Adult Programs, below.
    This is a $0 (no cost) offering in our store.
  2. You can then continue shopping to add your chosen camps into your cart via our online store.
    If you have already registered for a camp or program and want to apply for a scholarship, you can register for the scholarship application and complete the process through your account and we will tie it to your order.
  3. Upon checkout, you will be prompted to answer both Camper and Scholarship related questions.
  4. You will be required to pay the full cost or balance on all camps or programs you are registering for – so you can wait to register until the scholarship has been applied.
  5. We will be in touch in regards to the final amount of scholarship awarded. Once you accept the amount, it will be applied to your account, and we will let you know what your remaining balance might be.
