Campership Fund
Scholarships
We have a commitment in this ministry that no camper should ever lose out on attending camp because of funds. If you are in this situation or know of someone who would benefit from a scholarship, there are a few ways to help.
- You can sponsor a camper by calling our office to set up a sponsorship code for the camper you would like to sponsor. Our office phone number is (989) 348-5491.
- Friendship Camper, is sponsored through a local Seventh-day Adventist Church. This scholarship is for those children who the local church would like to sponsor. Contact your local church to find out if they are participating in the Friendship Camper Scholarship this summer.
- Campership, also known as, ‘Matthew Jacobson Fund’ is for those who are able to pay part of the registration, but need assistant covering the rest of the registration. For more information,

Matthew Jacobs Memorial Fund Guidelines
The Camp Au Sable Campership Fund has been established by donations from campers, parents, and other interested persons who want to see every child have an opportunity to attend camp. The funds are distributed on a first come, first serve basis to those who qualify until the fund is used up for the current camping season. If we received your application and the funds have been depleted, we will refund the entire amount of your deposit.
