Corporate Sponsorship Program - Current Opportunities

Sponsorship Description: The Department of Environmental Management (DEM) is seeking sponsor(s) to cover the cost of tuition of weekly camps for qualified (based on financial need) students interested in attending a summer camp program offered at Brooker Creek Environmental Education Center or Weedon Island Preserve Culture & Natural History Center. Tuition to attend the camps is $125.00 per student for one week of camp. DEM is seeking a total of $7,150.00 to underwrite the tuitions for a total of 65 children ($110.00 per child). Parents will be responsible for paying $15.00 toward the cost of the camp for transportation to the camp location.
Financially disadvantaged children who would not otherwise be able to attend these camps will be given this unique educational opportunity as a result of sponsor support. Sponsors may be recognized via placement of company logo on camp t-shirt and camper certificate of participation. Sponsors will receive an acknowledgement of their support indicating the number of students sponsored.
