Summership Scholarship opportunities are available for Washington youth this summer. A Summership provides a K-12 student from Johnson and Washington Counties, who are eligible for Free & Reduced Lunch, with a camp scholarship of up to $350 for one week or one session at the summer camp or summer activity of their choice. The Summership program was created in 2014 through proceeds from the Herky on Parade Auction. Summerships are made possible through continued investments from United Way of Johnson & Washington Counties and partnership with the Community Foundation of Johnson County Summerships Endowment fund. Last year, the United Way Summership Program sponsored 119 children, sending them to various camps in Iowa, including art day camps and weeklong stays at Camp Wapsie in Linn County. Summerships offer more than a scholarship; they provide access to new skills, friendships, and transformative experiences.
