• Girls Week 2024 Camper Application

    June 17th-21st, 2024

  • Welcome to Camp Kerith of Southern Indiana! We can't wait to get to know your camper better, and we hope camp is a fun, safe, and life-changing experience. Whether this is your camper's first year or fifth, we hope this is a summer we will never forget. 

    Camp Kerith is a camp designed for the children of prisoners, children living or who have lived with substance addiction in the home, or children who have experienced high levels of trauma in their lives.

    We desire to create a camp experience around those specific needs and begin a mentoring process that continues year-round. If you do not believe your camper qualifies under these guidelines, you may continue the application and fill out the Family History questions to the best of your ability. We will review all applications and contact you as they are processed. 

    To begin the application process, you will need to gather the following information:

    • Family & Emergency Contact Information
    • Write a Brief Family History
    • Campers Medical Information

    Once the following has been gathered, the Application will only take 10-15 minutes to complete per application. You must complete an application for every camper you wish to send to Camp Kerith of Southern Indiana.

    Space is limited and may not be guaranteed for all applicants. If you are concerned about limited space, please call the office at 812-945-0886.  

    If the desired week of camp is filled, your camper will be put on a waiting list until a camper slot becomes available. Camp Leadership may also recommend the Day Camp Program, depending on the camper's history with the program or emotional/sensory awareness. 

    Thank you again for being a part of our camp family. We hope to see you at camp very soon.
