Scholarship : 2017 California Sculptors Symposium

Camp B/Pilgrim Firs and the California Sculptors Symposium (Camp Ocean Pines in Cambria) are initiating an exchange scholarship program to our respective camps. The main idea is an exchange, so attendance at 2 of the last 5 Camp B Symposium’s and intention to attend again within the next two years is a qualification. And you have to promise to tell us stories when you come back 🙂 

Cambria is April 23-30, 2017.

The deadline to apply for the scholarship is March 18, 2017.

Click here for a link to the scholarship form – please fill it out and email it back to Cyra Jane by the 18th if you want to be considered for the scholarship this year.
