Apply for a scholarship to attend Wolf Camp and other outdoor educational programs that interest you! Max Davis Scholarships are granted by the Conservation College whose mission it is to “inspire a global conservation ethic by connecting people to nature through outdoor education.”
Financial Aid Scholarships are accepted between January 20th – June 20th as funds remain available.

Support the Conservation College and Max Davis Scholarships
The Conservation College was started in 2019 under the guidance of seven Wolf Camp parents who became founding board members. In addition to its other goals and projects, the Conservation College took over administration of Max Davis Scholarships in 2021 after twenty years under the Western Outdoor Learning Fund.
The scholarship program was named after Max Davis, a favorite Wolf Camp participant who passed away in 2001 of a childhood illness. It is our hope that Max’s memory serves as an example for the kind of camper we hope to attract to earth skills education: aware of nature and its hazards; working hard to reach goals safely; keeping a uplifting attitude, and offering friendly leadership.
With an entirely volunteer staff and board of directors, the expenses of the Conservation College are currently minimal. 100% of any donation designated for scholarships will go entirely to those applying for Max Davis Scholarships. Incidental costs are funded by in-house donations and fundraiser events. Your entire donation will be used for scholarships to people who qualify for financial aid based on need and merit.
Please use the PayPal link below to donate any amount from $25, to $250 if you want to sponsor the balance of a kids day camper who applied for a scholarship, to $750 if you want to sponsor the balance of an overnight youth camper.
