Families must submit online applications that also include financial documentation. Over 300 awards made annually. Applicants are encouraged to apply early , and while they must complete the forms, they are also encouraged  to  inform the agency of any extraordinary circumstances which either limit a family’s ability to pay, or details the importance of camp to a particular child.  Families are also encouraged to seek additional aid, if needed,  from their congregation, camp, local Jewish Federation, One Happy Camper Program, Goldring Scholarship etc.
