Summer of a Lifetime

Camp is so much more than just an incredible summer. Studies show that children who attend Jewish overnight camp have higher rates of synagogue affiliation, and a stronger connection to Jewish life and Israel. Plus, kids discover all the magic of sleepaway camp—from building friendships, to learning new skills, to going on new adventures—and make memories that will last a lifetime. ​

There are many great camps to choose from including our participating partners. Find a camp today.

One Happy Camper


Start a tradition of summer fun! Discover all that Jewish camp has to offer—from sports and arts, to music and science—and how to afford summers your kids will never forget. With the One Happy Camper grant, you could qualify for $700 or $1,000 off!

To qualify for the $700 One Happy Camper grant, your child must:

If your child is a first-time camper attending camp for 3 weeks or more, and meets the requirements above, you may qualify for a $1,000 grant for the first camper in your family and $500 for any siblings. 


If your camper is attending Camp Micah or Camp Kingswood for the first time, they are also eligible for a first-time incentive grant from CJP. To learn more and apply, please contact your camp directly or email Leah at onehappycamper@cjp.org.

Please apply early as funding may not last through summer.

*Campers that attended a session shorter than 12 days last summer and are attending camp for more than 12 days can apply for a $700 or $1,000 One Happy Camper grant for this summer. Any camper who went to camp for 12 days or more last summer will not be eligible for a grant next summer.

 




Affordability Scholarships


You know camp is impactful and fun for kids. But did you know that camping scholarships can relieve the financial pressure that is less fun for grown-ups?
