Day Camp Scholarships:

Gerald Augusto Camperships

 This fund was set up at the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation (CRCF) in memory of Gerald Augusto. It is designated to grant one or more camperships to elementary or middle school aged children who are interested in attending single day or week-long Audubon Day Camps. Donations made to camperships throughout the year are awarded to campers to reduce or eliminate camp registration fees. At the end of the year, any remaining funds are reinvested to support even more campers the next year.

Who is eligible?
These camperships are available to children aged 5 – 14 years, who experience barriers preventing them access to a quality, nature-based camp experience. Barriers may include, but are not limited to, financial resources, a lack of transportation, work/childcare conflicts, language, or a combination.

This is a merit-based camp scholarship that takes into account an individual’s passion, interest, and willingness to give back to their community through volunteering or work. Scholarship winners often serve as Counselors-In-Training or Junior Counselors at ACNC.

This camp scholarship is in memory of Stephanie Frucella, a 4th grade teacher. As a child, she loved to come to the Audubon with her family to walk the trails and discover wildlife, flowers, and the beauty of nature. In her life, Stephanie strived daily to make a difference in the lives of her students and her community. Through this scholarship and others, her legacy will continue.

Application deadline: First round applications due by May 1. Awarded by May 15. Later applications will be reviewed and awarded on a rolling basis as funds last.
