day camps offer exciting, local opportunities for campers to explore their heritage and connect with their community.
Jewish day camp can be an exciting and fun way to incorporate Jewish learning and engagement throughout the summer. Whether meeting new friends or camping with classmates, day camp is a great way to instill lifelong bonds with other Jewish children and foster a love of Jewish life.

scholarships
We no longer grant individual camp scholarships to families. In an effort to simplify the financial aid/scholarship process, we now provide camps with funding that will supplement their scholarship and financial aid funds. This allows families to fill out one scholarship application instead of two and also helps the camps fully understand the needs of their families. They can then provide scholarships accordingly. You can reach out to the camp directly to learn more about their scholarship process.
At this time we only provide funding to Jewish camps in Pennsylvania.
