Camp Mont Shenandoah Scholarship Available   Camp Mont Shenandoah, a small, traditional all girls’ summer camp located in Millboro Springs, Virginia, is pleased to announce that it will begin accepting applications for the Camp Spirit Scholarship on October 15. The scholarship fund was started in 2006, with the assistance of the Rockbridge Area Community Foundation, to recognize and honor the many lives the camp has touched and changed since its inception in 1927 as well as to perpetuate the values of the CMS experience. The scholarship helps girls attend Camp Mont Shenandoah who may not otherwise be able to due to financial constraints. Additionally, the scholarship will provide girls with the exceptional CMS experience and share in the virtues long upheld by the camp: Love, Loyalty, Friendship, Sportsmanship and Spiritual Awareness. The scholarship calls for one girl from Bath County be awarded a scholarship annually.      Camp Mont Shenandoah offers many activities, including swimming, tennis, horseback riding, archery, arts and crafts, drama, athletics, music and camp crafts. Campers range in age from 7 to fifteen. Sessions are one, three and six weeks in length. Girls lived in well-ventilated cabins with nearby bathroom facilities. The camp is very fortunate to have a 75% return rate of campers and an experienced, well educated and enthusiastic counseling staff.      Camp Spirit Scholarships are awarded based on to need, a girl’s ability to make friends, be helpful and maintain a positive attitude in a community environment and a goodness of fit between the girl’s character and the virtues of Camp Mont Shenandoah. Special circumstances and legacies are also given consideration.      The scholarship application deadline is November 14, 2008 with scholarships being awarded on or before December 21, 2008.
