The scholarship is intended for returning campers attending an approved Jewish summer overnight camp. The scholarship is needs-based. Families fill out an online google form application that goes live on November 15. Applications are reviewed and scholarships are awarded based on family income and length of camp session. Families are notified via email with scholarship amounts awarded. Campers cannot apply for both OHC and scholarship. Priority funding is given to One Happy Camper participants.
