Israeli American Camper Grants

FJC offers an amazing incentive program for families in California, Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, and Washington state with at least one Israeli-born parent!

Second time campers may receive $1,000 for 19+ days and $700 for 12–18 days. This incentive is in lieu of traditional One Happy Camper® grants, and families may still be eligible for additional financial assistance from their camps.

Eligibility

• Family must live in California, Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, or Washington state and choose an FJC network overnight camp in these states.
• At least one parent of the camper is Israeli and spent significant time living in Israel (or the camper themselves is Israeli)
• Second year campers are eligible if they have attended Jewish overnight camp for one previous consecutive summer (longer than 10 days)
• Multiple children per family may be eligible; we ask for a complete application per child
• Families will be asked to complete the pre-summer survey (as part of this form) and a post summer survey

Grants are limited and a portion of grants are available to Jewish day school students.
