About Us
Clarkston SCAMP is a five-week summer day program designed to support individuals with a wide range of emotional, physical, and developmental needs. Our nonprofit provides a safe, welcoming environment where SCAMPers build friendships, confidence, and lifelong memories through meaningful activities and community connection.
What makes SCAMP special
At SCAMP, every SCAMPer is seen, supported, and celebrated. Our program is intentionally designed to balance structure with joy—offering enriching experiences that meet SCAMPers where they are while encouraging growth, independence, and belonging.

Accessible & Affordable for All
SCAMP is committed to ensuring that financial barriers never prevent participation.
The true cost of providing the SCAMP experience is approximately $2,300 per camper. Through the support of the North Oakland SCAMP Funding Corporation (NOSFC) – in-district tuition is $700 and out-of-district tuition is $1100.
Financial assistance is available through NOSFC, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit supported by a dedicated 22-member volunteer Board of Directors. Thanks to this support, SCAMP has never turned away a camper due to financial need.
NOSFC funding helps bridge the gap between tuition and actual program costs, allowing SCAMP to keep fees as low as possible while recognizing the significant financial demands many families face.
SCAMP provides more than just a great experience for SCAMPers—it also offers meaningful support for families.
Parents and caregivers can have peace of mind knowing their loved one is safe, supported, and engaged in a structured, caring environment. For many families, SCAMP provides much-needed respite while creating joyful summer memories for everyone involved.
