The History Of Our Campership Program

The Campership Fund, established in 1981 in honor of our former directors Chuck, Fred, and Brownie, has grown over the years thanks to the generous contributions of alumni and camp supporters.  Managed by a Camp Committee and administered by the American Camp Association, a 501(c)3 organization, the fund awarded scholarships to 42 campers totaling over $100,000 in 2026. 
The Cote family has committed to matching all donations to the Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert Campership Funds.
