Scholarship Funds

We commit to never turn away a camper due to the inability to pay.

We award nearly $10,000 in scholarships annually thanks to generous donations from people like you who give to Camp Hardtner’s scholarship program. They give because they want to make a difference in the lives of others.

In essence, the scholarship funds allow you to help us address the growing spiritual, personal, and educational needs within our collective communities. Give someone else the gift of Camp Hardtner.

The scholarship funds below honor the lives of those who have made a difference at Camp Hardtner and in our community. Contributions may be designated to a particular fund as named below, or can be given to our General Scholarship fund.

Joe Bordelon Scholarship Fund

Grace + Joe Bordelon - 2016

Lovingly referred to as “Fr. Joe”, Joe Bordelon is one of our most beloved alumni, serving as director of Camp Hardtner from 1981 to 1997 with his wife Grace, and dedicating countless hours to Camp’s ministry since then. His own children and grandchildren have continued in his legacy of service, and the entire Bordelon family is often seen as the quintessential “Camp Family”.

Fr. Joe has often said that “money should never be the reason a camper does not come to camp.” For that reason, this scholarship fund is named in his honor and intended to promote the camp experience for many more generations to come.

Geri Patterson Memorial Scholarship Fund

Geri’s pure love was felt by everyone who knew him. A Camp Able camper since the first session, Geri shared that love with every fellow camper, staff member, and volunteer who came his way–especially through his dance moves! In memory of Geri, scholarship funds are made available for campers to continue to experience love through Camp Hardtner.

Justin “Henry” Morris Memorial Scholarship Fund
(8/30/1995 – 8/12/2022)

Henry and his siblings looked forward to visiting their family in Alexandria during the summer. Much of this excitement was because they would be attending Camp Hardtner with their cousins. Henry loved the outdoors and making new friends. He had fond memories of camp, swimming, playing Lamar, Chaos Soccer, and 4-square. He also forged lifelong friendships. Henry was fun loving, kind and adventurous. He had compassion for others, including animals. Camp Hardtner contributed greatly to his personal growth. It is in this spirit and his honor that this scholarship was established. Henry would love nothing more than to enable another person to have the Camp Hardtner experience.

Camp Hardtner is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created within the structure of the Episcopal Diocese of Western Louisiana.
