Though we’ve worked hard to keep costs down for kids attending Irie Camp Jamaica, some of our campers need help through a scholarship and we try to support them when we can.
We invite you to help build the Delroy A. Gordon Campership Fund.
The late Dr. Gordon was a cultural advocate and an early supporter of our camp's mission. The campership fund, established in his honor, directly provides needs-based camp scholarships to children facing difficult financial circumstances.
Our Color for a Cause campaign is there to help spread awareness of our camp in the hopes of reaching individuals and organizations willing to make a donation to build the campership fund. Download any of our free coloring pages, share it, color it in, post to your favorite social media platform with a link to this page. Better yet, get the kids to do the coloring!
Whether you say "Every mikkle mek a mukkle," or "One one cocoa full basket," every little bit helps.
Make a donation by clicking the “Donate” button on this page. While your donations are not tax deductible under U.S. tax law, they will help to send another child to a camp where they will be welcomed into the warmth of a proud people.
Scholarship applications are now closed but will reopen in April 2020.

Scholarship Application
We offer a limited number of scholarships each year. The number and amount of scholarships available is based upon the contributions we receive from our sponsorship partners and people like you. We are committed to assisting as many campers as possible in their quest to experience Jamaica's culture. While we sometimes receive more requests than scholarships are available and occasionally are unable to accept an application, we do strive to work with parents and organizations to assist as many children as we can. Please contact us to discuss group rates and multi-child discounts.
