Wish Bruce a Happy Birthday!
From Bruce Hoffen,
On April 23, I am celebrating my 65th birthday! As I mark this milestone, I’m choosing to support something deeply meaningful: opening the door for more young people to experience the joy, connection, and growth that Jewish camp makes possible.
Jewish summer camp is where lifelong friendships are formed, confidence takes root, and community truly comes to life. Campers and staff step into an environment that invites them to show up fully as themselves, whether they are singing at the top of their lungs on Shabbat, trying something new for the first time, or discovering strengths they didn’t know they had.
I believe deeply that every Jewish child should have the opportunity to experience Jewish camp. Together, we can make that possible.
Thank you for helping me celebrate this milestone by supporting the life-changing impact of Jewish camp.
Foundation for Jewish Camp (FJC) grows, supports, and strengthens the Jewish camp movement, enabling camps to deliver exceptional experiences for campers, staff, families, and communities. FJC scales programs and resources to support more than 300 Jewish day and overnight camps across North America, reaching nearly 200,000 youth, teens, and young adults each summer. This includes helping families find the right camp and providing financial support for first-time campers through the One Happy Camper® program.
