Scholarship Information
Mingus Mountain has two opportunities for campers to receive a campership to attend summer camps: the CRM Campership Fund and receiving funds from your local church.
Please read below for information on how to request these funds via your summer camp registration application
Camp & Retreat Ministries Campership Fund
It is the belief of Desert Southwest Camp & Retreat Ministries (CRM) that every camper who wants to attend camp should be able to do so!
Supporters of CRM offer summer camperships starting at $50 for half-week sessions and $100 for week-long sessions. Please follow the instructions in your camper registration to apply!
Please note: a $50 non-refundable deposit is due at the time of registration to submit registration for summer camp session/s, even if you are applying for a scholarship. If you cannot pay the deposit at that time, your registration will be saved as “in progress” until payment is made. Please follow all directions within the registration application process for additional information and assistance.
Local Church Scholarships (not just UMC’s)
Camper Parent/Guardian seeking funds:
If you are part of, or connected to, a local church, you may request scholarship funds for your camper. Though the process may vary from church to church, we generally encourage you to contact your pastor or youth/family director and let them know you would like to sent your camper/s to a DSC Summer Camp and send them to this page to get more information!
Notes about completing registration: $50 deposit
If the scholarship you are seeking from a local church is going to cover all registration fees, including the deposit, please note you will not be able to submit your registration without a code waiving the deposit. You have two options:
-
- Fill out the camper registration application and save as “application pending” and then reach out to the Office Admin.
- Contact the Office Admin before beginning registration and provide them with the church name, contact person, and contact information.
The Office Admin will then reach out to the church to seek approval for funds. Once approved, you will receive a discount code to apply to the application and submit registration.
