Campership Program
If you’re here because the cost of camp is a concern — welcome. You’re exactly who this fund is for, and we’re genuinely glad you found us.
Crown Point’s Summer Farm and Science Camp Scholarship Fund exists so that every child who wants a week on our farm gets one. Feeding chickens. Harvesting vegetables from the ground. Spending five days on 115 acres of USDA-certified organic land — and discovering they belong here.
A full week of Farm Camp is $340. Our campership awards cover anywhere from 20% to 100% of that cost, based on your family’s situation and your child’s own words about why they want to come to the farm. There is no income cutoff. There is no minimum you must contribute. There is nothing to upload, prove, or justify.
Just tell us about your family. And let your child tell us — in their own words — why the farm calls to them.
Application Process
The application is short and simple, and includes three parts:
Basic information about your family
A few financial questions you answer by selecting from a range
Brief response from your child
We read every single application ourselves. Everything you share is completely confidential — no other families, no other parents, and no one outside of Crown Point’s program staff will ever know you applied or what you shared.
You’ll hear from us within two weeks. If we can offer a campership, you’ll receive an award letter and a registration code to use when you enroll. If we can’t — because funds run out, not because your family doesn’t deserve it — we’ll tell you right away and make sure you leave with other options. No family walks away from this page without a next step.
Please apply before you register for camp. We can’t apply awards after registration is complete.
Once you receive your award, you’ll have 10 days to hold your child’s spot.
Your Child Belongs at Crown Point!
Let’s Make it Happen!
Crown Point Ecology Center is a USDA-certified organic farm and ecological preserve in Bath, Ohio — operated as a ministry of the Dominican Sisters of Peace. It’s one of the only places in Northeast Ohio where a child can spend a full week learning to farm, care for animals, and understand where food actually comes from.
We built this fund because we believe that experience belongs to every child. Not just the ones whose families can easily afford it. Your child belongs here. Come find out.
