Jewish Overnight Summer Camp Scholarships Available

Ask anyone who attended Jewish sleepaway camp about their experience and they will undoubtedly share stories and memories of those unforgettable summers. We know exposing children to the transformative power and meaningful traditions shared at Jewish overnight camp not only strengthens their religious identity, but also solidifies their Jewish future. With that in mind, Federation is continuing its commitment to making the experience more affordable for all families. Hopeful that camps will reopen this summer, applications are now being accepted for need-based scholarships for 2021 summer sessions. For more information and to apply, click here. Applications will be reviewed as they are received with final deadline of January 29, 2021.
