Mission 19:14 Camper Scholarship Fund
Your support of Mission 19:14 Scholarships helps send over 1,200 campers each year to camp.
Cost should never be the reason a child misses camp.
Every child who comes to New Life Ranch carries a story and because of the Mission 19:14 Camper Scholarship Fund, more of those stories get the chance to change. As Cameron, one of our Leadership Development Managers, puts it, “
Getting kids away from their environment and letting them just be kids—that’s powerful. It gives them space to have fun and learn about the Lord.”
But too often, the most life-changing experiences are the least accessible. The Mission 19:14 Camper Scholarships Fund exists to change that, removing financial barriers so any child who wants to come to camp can.
Instead of asking families to prove financial need, we invite them to share honestly. To share what they’re able to contribute, what they need help with, and why they want their child to experience camp. It’s a process built on trust, not judgment, because this isn’t about proving worthiness, it’s about creating access.
One camper mom, Jodi, shared what that looked like for her family of seven: “We had to be honest about what we could afford… what I appreciated most was that they didn’t ask us to prove anything. They asked what we could give—and then they trusted us.” Because of that, her boys got to experience camp and now her family gives so others can too.
That’s the heart of Mission 19:14 Camper Scholarships. Your gift helps answer the question so many families are asking: Can my child come? And because of you, the answer can be: yes.
WHAT IS THE AVERAGE SCHOLARSHIP AMOUNT?
The average scholarship awarded is normally around $545. This means a gift of $545 helps bring a kid to camp! A gift of $1,100 brings a kid and their friend, and a gift of $6,600 brings an entire cabin to camp!
2027 GOAL
For Summer 2026, we awarded $757,891 in scholarships and were fully funded by the end of the summer, which allows us to start acquiring funds for Summer 2027. We have set the goal for this next year with the yearly growing additional need for assistance in mind. 2027 Mission 19:14 Scholarship Fund Goal is $830,000.
