TFI Camp Scholarship Program

Christian Summer Camps are an amazing opportunity for kids to grow in Christ, develop community, and have a lot of fun! They can also be a wonderful opportunity for incoming TFI Fellows to serve, grow in leadership, and earn some income prior to their Fellows year. TFI has partnered with multiple Christian Camps that not only provide a salary for the summer before your Fellows year, but also provide scholarships toward your Fellows program fee.

In the summer of 2023, Brianna Nalley worked at Camp Greystone and then joined the Louisville Bridge Fellows Class of ‘24. Of her experience, she says, "As Fellows we have to juggle many different responsibilities and activities. My time at Greystone taught me to be flexible and kind. Everyone gets tired, and sometimes things are a bit stressful, but God is faithful!”

How Does It Work?

As a camp counselor, you will earn a salary for the summer. In addition, if you follow the application steps laid out by the camp, you will also earn a scholarship toward your Fellows Program Fee. To qualify for any of the scholarship programs, you must work at the camp for the entire summer prior to your Fellows program year.

Each camp has its own scholarship program. The summer salary, scholarship amount, and steps to apply for the scholarship are unique to each camp. To qualify for a scholarship, you must follow the steps required by the camp during the application process. If you are in doubt, please contact the camp for more information BEFORE submitting your application to be a counselor. All questions should be directed to the camp staff. TFI is not able to answer detailed questions about each camp's scholarship program.
