In 2006, Marilyn Ratliff founded Summer Camp Scholarships, which has since sent over 1,000 deserving kids to summer camp who otherwise would not have had the opportunity. As the lifeblood behind Summer Camp Scholarships, she applied for grants, worked with summer camps to find camper slots, held school assemblies to reach out to kids, trained volunteers to work with the families, and led our organization every step of the way.
The mission of Summer Camp Scholarships is to introduce Washtenaw County's most vulnerable 4th and 5th graders to overnight camp, a setting which is designed to develop resilient, respectful, and responsible young adults.

The mission of Summer Camp Scholarships is to introduce Washtenaw County's most vulnerable 4th and 5th graders to overnight camp, a setting which is designed to develop resilient, respectful, and responsible young adults. A full scholarship to camp is just a start for our families and children. The cost of secondary outlays can be overwhelming for a family living from paycheck to paycheck.
Who is eligible? We use eligibility for the free lunch program as qualification because it reaches children in low-income families, foster children and homeless children. We don't open our doors and hope that those with the greatest need will walk in. The federal government has already identified the families which are at risk, and those are the families we invite.
As a volunteer with SCS, you can choose from a wide range of opportunities. Many SCS volunteers serve as a liaison to camper families in the weeks preceding camp. Others have fund raising skills, help promote the golf outing, or enjoy soliciting bulk item donations for campers like ponchos, small water bottles and flashlights, etc.
This is only the second time the Club has had to cancel an outing in the course's 21 years.* He will contact you to work something out. You will be entitled to a full refund, but you may also choose to donate all or a part of your fee to Summer Camp Scholarships. Please join us for our 2021 Golf Outing!
