Camp Mont Shenandoah scholarship available
MILLBORO SPRINGS - Camp Mont Shenandoah, a small, traditional all girls' summer camp located in Millboro Springs, announces that it will begin accepting applications for its Camp Spirit Scholarship on Oct. 15.
The scholarship fund was started in 2006, with the assistance of the Rockbridge Area Community Foundation, to recognize and honor the many lives the camp has touched and changed since its inception in 1927 as well as to perpetuate the values of the CMS experience.
The scholarship helps girls attend Camp Mont Shenandoah who may not otherwise be able to due to financial constraints. Additionally, the scholarship will provide girls with the exceptional CMS experience and share in the virtues long upheld by the camp: love, loyalty, friendship, sportsmanship and spiritual awareness. The scholarship calls for one girl from Bath County be awarded a scholarship annually.
Camp Mont Shenandoah offers many activities. Campers range in age from seven to 15. Sessions are one, three and six weeks in length. Girls lived in well-ventilated cabins with nearby bathroom facilities. The camp is fortunate to have a 75 percent return rate of campers and an experienced, well educated and enthusiastic counseling staff.
Camp Spirit Scholarships are awarded based on need, a girl's ability to make friends, be helpful and maintain a positive attitude in a community environment and a goodness of fit between the girl's character and the virtues of Camp Mont Shenandoah. Special circumstances and legacies are also given consideration.
The scholarship application deadline is Nov. 15, with scholarships being awarded on or before Dec. 21. For information on Camp Mont Shenandoah or to obtain a Camp Spirit Scholarship description and application, contact Ann Batley at (540) 997-5994 or visit www.CampMontShenandoah.com.
