Mission
Foundation for Jewish Camp’s singular mission is to grow, support, and strengthen the Jewish camp movement, so camps can deliver the best possible experience for their campers, staff, and families.
About
Foundation for Jewish Camp invests in young people because they are the Jewish future. Study after study confirms that Jewish summer camp remains one of the most effective tools for changing lives – providing opportunities for individual growth, building community, and strengthening connections to Judaism, the Jewish people, and Israel. Simply stated, Jewish camp works! Foundation for Jewish Camp works with Jewish camps and summer experiences from all streams of Jewish belief and practice to promote excellence in their management, programs, and enrollment by providing thought leadership, professional development, funding, research, data, and inspiring innovation. With decades of experience, we are the central advocate and resource for Jewish camp to thrive – and when times are tough – survive. With your partnership, we help Jewish camps access untapped funds and resources that would otherwise go unrealized and deliver the best possible Jewish experience for every family.
