We understand that your children’s Jewish education and identity are extremely important to your family. And we know, just as you do, that sending your children to an overnight Jewish summer camp is the best way to ensure a lifelong affiliation with the Jewish people and customs, and to make Jewish friends. But we also recognize that summer camps are an expensive endeavor. We’ve done our best to compile a list of financial resources for families in our region. Some of these are available to all; others are based on your geographic location. Please visit our financial assistance and savings page.
