Incentive Grants for
Jewish Summer Camp

NH campers

The Jewish Federation of New Hampshire in partnership with The Foundation for Jewish Camp (www.OneHappyCamper.org) is delighted to announce our 2013 Camp Incentive Program. JFNH will offer a grant of up to $1000 for any first time camper attending a Jewish summer camp. The amount of individual grants may vary depending upon the total number of applicants.

 

We know that no experience is more powerful, thrilling, or transformative than Jewish overnight camp. Specific memories may vary— camp-wide Maccabiah games, self-made pottery coming out of the kiln, a hike ending around a campfire, challenge of the ropes course, the lakeside Shabbat—but all Jewish camps create life-long friendships and unbreakable bonds to Judaism and the Jewish Community.

 

Children with pivotal Jewish experiences become adults who value their Jewish heritage, support Jewish causes, and take on leadership roles in their communities. For these reasons, the JFNH has committed to this exciting initiative.

  • The grant is not based on financial need
  • Multiple campers from a family are eligible
