Help a child attend Camp JRF this summer!

First day of campFirst day of campCamp JRF commenced with excitement and joy, as you can see in this photo taken last week as the first session of the season began.

Camp JRF's goal is to make it possible for every Jewish child to participate in the life-changing Jewish experience that Camp JRF provides, regardless of his or her family's circumstances. For many Jewish families the enriching experience of Jewish overnight camp is cost prohibitive. There are over seventy-five children in need of scholarships to come to Camp JRF this summer. We ask you to join us in making Camp JRF available this summer to as many Jewish children as possible.

This year we are seeking $75,000 in gifts to meet the scholarship needs of those children who have expressed a desire to attend Camp JRF, but whose families lack the financial resources. The cost per week for a child to participate at Camp JRF is approximately $1,000, which is also the average scholarship amount. The entire camp season is 7 weeks.
We have raised almost half of the scholarship funds needed, providing for those attending the first session; however, we have an even larger group of children planning to attend the second session and the majority of those seeking scholarship are planning to attend that session in three weeks' time.

Your generosity is an investment whose return is beyond measure. You can help make it affordable for a family to send a child to camp and, in turn, impact Jewish continuity and instill the joy of Judaism for generations to come.
