Try a Jewish Camp This Summer

The Delaware One Happy Camper Program provides grants to encourage children to attend overnight Jewish camp for the first-time.  It is not a scholarship fund and is not needs-based.  Our goal is to engage families who are considering sending their children to camp and, in effect, to give them $1,000 off their camp fee to try a Jewish one.  Click here for more information.
