UU Owners’ Club (UUOC) Discount
Camp de Benneville Pines was built by the Unitarian Universalist (UU) Community. It has been primarily the generosity of the UU members and district fellowships that have kept CdBP functioning and thriving. Art Camp will always show our UU members special loving consideration as THE OWNERS of CdBP.
On the Registration form, the UU Owners’ Club (UUOC) will be a category allowing the member to select the UUOC price of camp, and enjoy the enrichment of Art Camp at a their reduced rate.
If a UUOC member chooses to pay the regular price, they will receive a Tax Deduction letter acknowledging their donation above the UUOC price. This money will fill our Scholarship Fund to help artists needing modest financial support.
Non-Artist Partner Discount
If your partner loves camp but does not want to do the Classes, they enjoy all of CdBP wonderful accommodations, activities and amenities at a lower price.
If they change their mind once they see how fun art is, the fee to take workshops is $240. All materials are provided!
Scholarships
For those for whom the cost of camp is a hardship, modest scholarships may be available. These must be requested by emailing the Dean for committee review and approval.
