Jewish Federation Offers Funds for Overnight Camp
Contributed by: Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County on 10/28/2009

Area families struggling to afford overnight Jewish camp experiences for their children can receive scholarship and grant funds totaling up to $2,500 through programs overseen by the Jewish Teen Initiative, a department of the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County.

Beginning November 1, families can apply for a $1,000 Campership Incentive Grant for first-time campers. The grant is available to children who live in Federation's service area (from Boynton Beach north through Martin County), attend a qualifying Jewish overnight camp for three weeks, do not attend a Jewish day school and have not attended a Jewish overnight camp. A list of qualifying camps and the application can be found at www.OneHappyCamper.org.

Families can receive funds, ranging from $500 to $1,500, through the Overnight Camp Scholarship program. Funds are available to children who live in Federation's service area, attend a qualifying Jewish overnight camp for three weeks and do not attend a Jewish day school. The deadline to apply for the scholarship program is February 5, 2010. The application can be downloaded from the Summer Programs page of the Jewish Teen Initiative's Web site, www.JTIPalmBeach.org.

Call 561-615-4953 or e-mail Megan.Usow@JewishPalmBeach.org for more information on the two financial aid programs.

The Jewish Teen Initiative creates social, cultural and educational programs specifically for Jewish teens in the greater Palm Beaches, enhances and promotes existing programs for middle and high school-age students, and serves as a resource for local synagogue youth groups and Jewish agencies.

The Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County serves residents from Boynton Beach to Jupiter and west to Wellington as the central Jewish community-building organization of the greater Palm Beaches. Federation strengthens Jewish identity, energizes the community's relationship with Israel and meets the human needs of the Jewish community in Palm Beach County, Israel and 65 countries around the world.
