Applications for Jewish Overnight Camp Scholarships Now Being Accepted!

Last year, almost 200 need-based scholarships were awarded, enabling kids to attend a variety of camps from all religious streams, as well as overnight programs sponsored by Jewish Community Centers and Jewish youth movements. For more information and to apply for a Jewish overnight camp scholarship, click here. Applications are due by January 31, 2018.
