You Know What JRC Can Do For a Child

Give the Gift of Camp

At Jameson Ranch Camp, we award approximately $30,000 in camp scholarships each year to families who would not otherwise be able to afford the experience. These awards are not funded by an endowment or outside grant. They are not built into tuition. We provide them because we believe access to camp should never be limited by a family’s financial circumstances.

Our program is two full weeks—long enough for meaningful transformation to take place.

Two weeks allows a child to move beyond homesickness.
Two weeks allows skills to compound—on horseback, on the waterfront, on the trail.
Two weeks allows friendships to deepen and confidence to take root.

This is not a short exposure experience. It is immersion. And for many children, that immersion is life-changing.

How You Can Help

You can partner with us in expanding access by making a tax-deductible contribution through the American Camp Association.

Donations may be directed toward:

  • General Scholarship Support – Direct tuition assistance for families in need

  • Specific Projects – Facility improvements, safety upgrades, infrastructure enhancements

  • Program Purchases – Horses, tack, fishing equipment, waterfront safety gear, or other mission-critical supplies

  • Events & Experiences – Sponsorship of special activities that elevate the camper experience

Every dollar given translates directly into access.

Why It Matters

Two uninterrupted weeks in a structured, values-driven environment produces measurable growth:

  • Resilience developed through challenge

  • Leadership cultivated through responsibility

  • Independence practiced daily

  • Confidence earned—not granted

When a child attends on scholarship, they are not receiving charity. They are receiving opportunity.

If you believe that camp builds stronger, more capable young people—and that those experiences should be available to families who need assistance—we invite you to join us.

Help give the gift of two transformative weeks. Your gift will change a life.

Jameson is pure magic.  I do not think that another camp exists where a better job is done instilling wholesome values, creating friendships that are genuine and nurturing, and providing activities and delicious food that nourish campers inside and out. ”

Ever since my first summer at JRC, a long time ago, the images and feelings that I had at camp became a fixture in my memories and in my heart.
