The best parenting decision you'll ever make.
Your child deserves this. Jewish camp is about more than campfires, cabin cheers, or capture the flag. They might lose their voice or a few socks, but they will come home with confidence, community, and a deep sense of belonging and Jewish pride. It’s the kind of summer that lasts a lifetime.

How Do I Apply for Road to Camp?
Start by checking your eligibility online — it only takes a minute. If you qualify (and so many families do!), enroll in one of our 11 New England camps and then apply. It’s easy!
Which Camps Are Part of Road to Camp?

Who is eligible?
Massachusetts families earning up to $300K a year, whose child is enrolled at one of the 11 participating Jewish camps for a session of 12+ days or more this summer are eligible. Both new and returning campers may apply.
What If I Don't Live in Massachusetts?
Right now, Road to Camp is only available to Massachusetts residents, but we hope to expand to other regions soon. Until then, you might be eligible for our One Happy Camper® grants for first-time campers. Check it out at www.onehappycamper.org. You can also browse additional camp scholarships by state here or apply for financial aid directly from your camp.
What if I attend a different Jewish camp?
There are SO many amazing Jewish camps out there. While Road to Camp has launched with a great group of 11 camps, we hope to expand across North America. Until then, you might be eligible for our One Happy Camper® grants for first-time campers. Check it out at www.onehappycamper.org. You can also browse additional camp scholarships by state here or apply for financial aid directly from your camp.
What if I need additional financial support?
In addition to Road to Camp, families may also apply for FJC’s need-blind One Happy Camper® grant and need-based scholarships directly from camp, your local federation, and other community sources.
Can I Get Road to Camp for Multiple Years?
Yes! You’ll need to submit a new application each year.
Can More Than One Child per Family Apply for Road to Camp?
Absolutely! Eligible families can apply for more than one child. Just follow the instructions in the application.

can i apply for road to camp for a camp travel program?

How Does Road to Camp Differ from One Happy Camper®?
Road to Camp awards are based on income and are available for first-time or returning campers residing in Massachusetts attending 11 participating Jewish overnight camps across New England. One Happy Camper® grants are need-blind and available to first-time campers in communities across North America. Eligible Massachusetts residents can apply to both of these Foundation for Jewish Camp programs.
