Connecting Students with Nature
During the summer, interested 11–17-year-olds are eligible for a scholarship—called a Campership—for a week at one of DEC’s residential youth camps.
To be eligible for a Campership, students must be 11-17 years old and participate in ONE of the following: attend a trip, or submit a demonstration of interest through written or artistic form OR a combination of the above. We have set aside four weeks for campers to attend in 2025:
