UU Owners’ Club (UUOC) Discount
Camp de Benneville Pines was built, supported by, and still receives generous donations from the UU Community (Unitarian Universalist.) Our UU members shall always be shown special loving consideration as THE OWNERS of CdBP. It has been primarily the generosity of the UU members and district churches that has kept CdBP functioning and thriving. On the Registration form, the UU Owners’ Club (UUOC) will be a category allowing any member who cannot otherwise afford the full price of camp, to still attend an enjoy the enrichment of Art Camp at a 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.
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.
We are grateful to the Art Campers who contribute to our ongoing Scholarship Fund. Without their generous help, we could not provide Scholarships.
Non-Artist Partner Discount

If they change their mind once they see how fun art is, the fee to take workshops is $200. All materials are provided!
