  • Applications for the Keely Lake Travel Grant for School Groups may be submitted by 7-12 grade school teachers who hold a current individual membership in CAMWS.

How to apply

Proposals should include a budget, the dates of the projected trip and a detailed description of the planned activities, including a time line; proposals for support of participation in an excavation should include a letter from the excavation director detailing the students' responsibilities.

Upon their return recipients of a Lake Travel Grant are required to provide documentation of their participation in the originally proposed activity, a brief report on the outcomes of the travel, including issues that may have occurred and that may be considered by the grant committee in the future, and a summary of this activity, including photographs, for publication in the CAMWS newsletter and on the website for the grant.

Award payments will be made only after this report is submitted.
