SCHOLARSHIPS
THE BLUE-GRAY FUND provides financial aid and scholarship assistance to qualified and deserving camper families. Each year, Camp Tecumseh solicits contributions to its annual Blue-Gray Fund campaign which enable dozens of campers to have the experience of a lifetime that a summer at Camp Tecumseh brings. The Blue-Gray Fund is used exclusively for scholarships for the families of boys on the basis of financial need; in addition, the Blue-Gray Fund helps keep tuition expenses competitive with other overnight camps. Tecumseh continues to raise over $150,000 annually for its Blue-Gray Fund. For further information on how to support or apply, please contact the Camp Director, Douglas Knight.
