APPLYING TO THE PROGRAM

Click here to download a .PDF APPLICATION the online form follows.

TO APPLY:  

  • Read ALL of these instructions before beginning. Collect all the necessary information (especially as pertains to your references) and then continue.
     
  • The Cost of the Program will be  $3,800.00.  Email or call for latest details.
     
  • Read the "Program Overview" and "Classes" links to make sure you want to apply.
     

  • Read the "Rules and Policies" link to take a look at our participant rules.  Students all live together at the camp and we have a pretty high expectation of behavior.  (Hit the "back" button, or arrow, on your browser to return to this page after reading 'Da Rules').

  • Decide if you would like your references (other peoples assessments of your character and work ethic) done on-line or through the mail.  You will need to provide two (2) Character References (an Employer, Teacher or Family Friend - not a family member) and one Pastoral Reference (your Corps Officer or church Pastor).  To have references done on-line you will need to provide us with the following information (of your referrer): their name, their phone number, and their e-mail address - if you opt to have your references completed through the regular (snail) mail we will need the following information (again, of your referrer): their name, their phone number, and their street (snail) mail address.  If you have questions, e-mail us with them.

  • Fill out the application form - found below - completely, carefully and comprehensively.
  • Submit your form and follow any instructions that appear on screen.

  • Inform your Referrers that they will be getting contacted, by either e-mail or regular mail, by Camp Gifford to provide a reference for you.  We will either mail them a form or direct them to the appropriate internet address where they can fill out a reference on-line.

Interviews are ongoing until our limited positions are filled.  Applications will stop being taken for the current session (9/2008 - 8/2009) on August 15, 2008 (or until student positions are filled).  THANKS!  God bless you!
