Federation awarded 46 summer camp and 4 Israel Experience scholarships this year! 

 

Jewish summer camp is one of the best ways to help children develop a Jewish identity, but it can be cost-prohibitive for families. That's why we're happy to report that thanks to you, we were able to provide scholarships to every child who applied!
