Camp Lake Hubert for Girls in Minnesota

The History

The Camp Lincoln/Camp Lake Hubert Scholarship Fund was started in 1980 upon the death of Chuck Everett, long time director and partner with Brownie Cote and Fred Rogers. The memorials that came from this early giving were the seed money that started a very active and productive scholarship program. The fund was soon aligned with the American Camp Association, providing donors with a tax deductible benefit for their contributions.

The Benefits

In turn, the Camps were able to provide financial support to a growing number of families who understood the value of a good camp experience, but did not have the resources to make it happen. The Camps have also been able to focus on creating a more ethnic and socio-economic diverse community, which enriches the camp experience for all. Since the beginning of the scholarship fund, the camps have matched all contributions, thus expanding the programs outreach.

In 2008

This past summer, 31 campers attended Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert with scholarship support. This group included 13 girls and 18 boys from all across the country, with about half attending one of our four week sessions and the other half joining one of the Prep Camp or Specialty Camp programs. Scholarship support ranged from 10% to 100% tuition support. A special “thank you” goes to our alumni who contributed $12,500 toward scholarships this past year. The camps continue to match all donations, and in order to meet the demand provide many additional scholarships on top of this. Please see our recent Railspliter Calendar for a few more details on our Scholarship Program.

Because of the increased requests for scholarship support, we do need your help. For our 100 Year Anniversary, we hope to increase scholarship donations, enabling more deserving children the opportunity to experience a quality camp program. A new Legacy Building project is in the works, and we are encouraging alumni to make a 100 Year Celebration Donation to our scholarship fund and, in turn, be a part of an exciting new facility that will help us carry on the tradition of excellence into the next century.

This recent letter from Camp Lincoln Alum, Curtis White (39-46) details why a gift of camp is so special:

“This contribution to the ACA Campership Fund is in appreciation and to honor, remember and thank three wonderful Directors for their dedication, generosity and love to young campers; offering thousands of youngsters the opportunity of learning to live with others, to see, to hear and to enjoy the beauty of nature through camping. I look back and reminisce about my times at Camp Lincoln and my only regrets are that I can not do it all over again. It is for these reasons that I want this financial remembrance to honor those three gentlemen: Brownie Cote, Chuck Everett and Fred Rogers and to make it possible to assist other young campers at both Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert to enjoy the many happy times that I enjoyed.”
