NLBC 2026 Summer Camp Sponsorship Application

Camper Sponsorship Application

Please submit one application for each camper.
We understand that covering camp costs can be a challenge. Ness Lake Bible Camp is committed to reducing financial barriers so every child has the chance to experience an amazing week with us. Each year, generous donors, individuals, churches, and businesses, make it possible for many families to receive sponsorship support. If you’re finding it hard to make camp work this year, please reach out. We’re here to help.

We’ve also added a new payment plan option this year. It spreads the cost over monthly payments that are automatically charged on the 15th of each month until June 15. There is a $20 admin fee added to your next payment. This option can be a helpful way to manage the cost over time.

*Once you have filled in your form for each child, we will reach out to you. Please wait to register your child on the parent portal.
