The Jewish Children's Regional Service provides partial scholarships
for summer camp tuition for Jewish children when a family is unable to pay
the full costs.
In 2006, the JCRS provided Camp Scholarship funding for
approximately 500 young Jewish children between the ages of 9 and
16. The amount of aid provided to any one child or family
varies in accordance with the circumstances of the child and/or his or her
family. Financial awards for camp assistance is typically lower if the family
is able to obtain matching funds from other agencies and, conversely, the scholarship
amount frequently may be higher when the JCRS is the sole
source of aid.

Special consideration for Camp Scholarships is given to young people:
- Experiencing emotional, medical, and/or family problems;
- Who are from small Jewish communities;
- From
single-parent homes;
- Who are from inter-faith marriages;
- With limited exposure to Judaism;
- From immigrant families;
- With a combination of one or more of the
foregoing.
Please note that the JCRS Camp Committee gives preference for camp
scholarship awards to new
applicants and to applicants who have had three or less awards by the
JCRS.
