1 Mar 2025 — Registration is now open for summer 2025 Cub Scout programs! Information on Scouts BSA programs is coming soon.
14 Dec 2024 — Camp Workcoeman has a variety of programs taking place this winter and spring for both Scouts BSA and Cub Scouts. In addition, training opportunities and campsite/facility rentals are available. We hope to you at camp!
The Camp Workcoeman Alumni Association is a separate 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to ensuring every Scout can enjoy Scouting experiences at Camp Workcoeman. The Association provides year-round camperships to supplement the summer ones offered by the Council; as such, they request that families apply for a Council campership first when applicable. The Association will supplement Council funding for summer programs when the Council has not met a family’s full financial need. For more information and to request a campership, please email the group’s treasurer, Tom Leisten.
The Connecticut Rivers Council believes all Scouts should have the opportunity to attend summer camp, no matter their financial situation. Therefore, the Connecticut Rivers Council is pleased to offer camperships to Scouts who are members of the Connecticut Rivers Council who attend a Connecticut Rivers Council Camp. Camperships are subject to available funding and also be available for out-of-Council Scouts. Camperships are the equivalent of a school scholarship but for summer camp. They are awarded based upon financial need.
Except on rare occasions, Camperships are NOT granted for amounts greater than 50% of the camp fee. Camperships are awarded for ONE (1) camp session per Scout. Camperships are not transferrable between Scouts. Please file a separate application for EACH individual in a household requesting a Campership.
The deadline for the submissions is April 15th. Any Campership applications received after April 15th may be put into a pool for consideration of any remaining funds.
For more information or questions about Council camperships, please contact Michele Soboslai at (860) 913-2746 or [email protected].
