Support Jewish Camp
Foundation for Jewish Camp (FJC) fosters excellence and accelerates innovation at more than 300 Jewish camps across North America by developing adaptive talent, deepening immersive learning experiences, and driving field growth. FJC elevates Jewish camp on the collective cultural and philanthropic agenda and supports camps in their effort to provide a lifelong connection to Judaism for more than 180,000 campers, counselors, and young staff each summer.
Jewish camp is fertile ground for nurturing future Jewish leaders; it is where the spark for Jewish community is ignited, and core life skills are instilled. Each summer plays a significant part of the Jewish journey of campers and staff. We need your help to ensure campers and counselors are inspired and engaged throughout every part of this vital journey.
