Need-Based Camp Scholarships

For families struggling to afford childcare when school is out, camp is not a luxury; it’s a lifeline. Jewish summer camp provides a safe and nurturing environment grounded in communal values of justice and caring. For families coping with mental illness or other crises, summer camp provides a much-needed respite for kids to be kids. And camp friends often become year-round confidants supporting each other through thick and thin.

Why We Love Jewish Summer Camp

 

Helping children develop greater self-confidence, indpendence, empathy, and problem-solving skills, Jewish camp is a great investment in their future. Because young people who go to Jewish camp tend to stay involved in Jewish community as adults, it is also a sound investment in a strong future for the Jewish community – and the reason the Jewish Federation is proud to offer need-based scholarships for Jewish summer camp.
