Apply for a scholarship to attend Wolf Camp and other outdoor educational programs that interest you! Our Max Davis Scholarships program is guided by a mission 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. We expect that applicants also contribute as much as possible to programs they attend, and that scholarship recipients attend the entirety of the programs for which they register. Otherwise, everyone is eligible to apply, with financial aid granted on a sliding-scale basis according to the questions below.
To apply for a financial aid scholarship, email us with answers to the questions below, and attach a copy of our Registration Form if we do not already have one on file, plus a description of the program you wish to attend. Your application will remain completely confidential.
1. Which program are you applying for, and for what length of time do you plan to participate?
2. Why are you interested in the program?
3. What would you like to use these earth skills for in the future?
4. What is your total household income for last year, now, and projected this summer?
5. How many people are solely dependent on the income and assets which you list?
6. Mention any extraordinary expenses this month, season and year which are stretching your budget.
7. What is your total household/family net worth (value of assets minus liabilities / debts from which you may benefit now or in the future)?
8. Note any other information that may be needed to help in this scholarship decision-making process.
Support Max Davis Scholarships
The Max Davis Scholarships fund was started in 2001 under the guidance of seven Wolf Camp parents who became founding board members of the Western Outdoor Learning Fund. The WOLF Foundation, as it was known, transformed into the Conservation College in 2019 but during the pandemic, the organization downsized, and Wolf Camp eventually became direct administers of Max Davis Scholarships in 2026.
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.
100% of any donation designated for the Max Davis Scholarships fund will go entirely to those applying for financial aid to attend Wolf Camp. 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.
