Camp Winadu

Ethan H. Freed Winadu Scholarship Fund

Founded in 2007, The Ethan H. Freed Winadu Scholarship Fund (EHFWSF) was established to provide academic scholarships for members of the Winadu community who were in need of financial aid in order to achieve their educational goals.  The EHFWSF serves both former campers and counselors, as well as camp staff, to help defray the costs of a college education. Since its creation, the EHFWSF has raised over $100,000 towards scholarships and has already awarded grants to a number of highly deserving candidates with close and deep ties to Camp Winadu.

The EHFWSF was founded by long-time Winadu Camp Directors Shelley and Arleen Weiner in honor of Ethan H. Freed, a 13 year old camper who passed away in 2006.  As a Winadu camper since a young age, Ethan was a leader as an athlete, camper and friend. The EHFWSF’s mission of assisting those less fortunate embodies the ideals of Ethan, who always offered a helping hand and consideration for others.

The EHFWSF is a non-profit charitable organization that solicits tax deductible donations from individuals, corporations and foundations. The EHFWSF’s Board of Directors is comprised of Shelley and Arleen Weiner, members of the Freed family, and several independent philanthropists. The EHFWSF encourages individuals who have been or are part of the Winadu community and in need of financial aid to apply. Applications can be requested by emailing winadu@campwinadu.com.
