Camp Zanika is committed to making camp accessible to as many youth as possible. Our giving ability is limited. Youth residing in Grant, Douglas, Chelan, Kittitas, and Adams Counties are given priority. With rare exception, campership awards will not be greater than 50% of session fees. Camperships request over $100 require additional verification of income/need. Add-on activities are not covered by Camperships (store deposit, camp shirts, horseback, archery camp, culinary camp, river rafting).
