The Jim & Aana Lisa Whatley Scholarship Fund was created to help make summer camp possible for children who would otherwise not be able to experience life on The Island. We believe something amazing happens in the life of a camper who comes to Canaan, and we don’t want anyone to miss out. Funds are raised throughout the year by donations from generous, like-minded people and from our annual Fall Benefit.
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM OVERVIEW
We offer campers ages 5-13 scholarships for one week of summer camp in either Junior Day Camp (ages 5-8), Senior Day Camp (ages 9-13), or Resident Camps (Journey (ages 8-9), All Girls Week, Co-ed (ages 10-13) and Legacy (14-15).
