Special Mention

Apply for Camp Scholarships and Grants

The Jewish Federation offers One Happy Camper grants of up to $1,000 to families with children attending nonprofit Jewish overnight camps for the first time. Not based on financial need, the Jewish Federation directly distributes these grants to families with the goal of creating new experiences to cultivate their identities while participating in the Jewish community.

In addition, the Jewish Federation offers financial aid to reduce barriers for families to send their children to camp. Camps receive this funding to distribute to their campers in need. Scholarships are eligible for in-state Jewish day and overnight camps and for families of low to moderate income. To learn more, click here
