Shelby rotary, community foundation help kids attend camp.

The Shelby Rotary Club and the Community Foundation for Oceana County offer the chance for Oceana youth to attend camp year-round.

“Camp experiences bring new skills and self-worth to our youth and build up the 4 C’s within them; compassion, contribution, commitment, and character,” states a press release. “The Rotary Club and CFOC donors realize this impact, and work to ensure camp experiences are accessible to all, regardless of financial status. Awards are capped at $250 per applicant, but higher requests will be evaluated according to available funding.

“All awards will be paid directly to the camps and are available for any type of camping focus – arts, sports, scouts, church, general, and leadership experiences. There is no deadline — applications will be reviewed quarterly beginning in May. Preference is given to first-time requests. To apply for support, complete the quick, one-page application today. Applications are available at all Oceana County schools, on the foundation’s website at www.oceanafoundation.org, and at the Shelby Area District Library. Questions can be directed to Tiffany Haight at haightfour@gmail.com or by calling 231-873-1859.
