Our "Campership" Program

At Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert, we're dedicated to providing enriching camp experiences to all children, regardless of financial circumstances. In support of this mission and to foster a diverse community, we offer a Campership Program alongside flexible payment plans. Working in partnership with our alumni, current camp families, and a number of third party partnerships, we strive to grant the opportunity to attend Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert to those that would otherwise not be able to experience the incredible growth summer camp offers.

Eligibility at Camp Lincoln and Camp Hubert Nisswa Minnesota

Eligibility

Eligibility for a campership is determined by several factors: family situation, financial need, ability to contribute, other financial options, and impact of the experience and references. The Campership Committee works closely with each family, pursuing possible resources to cover costs beyond what the family can contribute. In addition to this opportunity, we encourage all campership applicants to search out other options. Often relatives are a good source of sponsorship. Many of our campers have their tuition paid in full by grandparents, aunts/uncles, or sponsors.
