Help us learn about families' Jewish summer experiences

We invite you to participate in a brief survey about how families in Miami with children ages 3-17 think about summer camp and other summer opportunities for their children.

Your perspective will help us better understand parents' priorities and decision-making around children's summer experiences so that we can continue to best support the community's needs.

👉 Take the Survey HERE

🎁 Win a gift card As a thank you for participating, everyone who completes the survey will be entered into a drawing to win one of eight gift cards: one of two $100 gift cards or one of six $50 gift cards.

The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete. All responses are confidential and anonymous and will be used only for research and planning purposes.

The survey is being conducted by Rosov Consulting, a research and evaluation firm specializing in the Jewish community and commissioned by the National Ramah Commission, the umbrella organization that supports Ramah camps, and Foundation for Jewish Camp.

Thank you for sharing your perspective.
