2023 Israeli American Camper Grant Application

Welcome and Thank You!

FJC is piloting a new incentive program for campers in California, Oregon, and Washington state with at least one Israeli-born parent.

First-time overnight campers may receive an incentive grant of $1,000 for 12-18 days of camp or $1,500 for up to 19+ days of camp. This incentive is in lieu of traditional One Happy Camper® grants, and families may still be eligible for additional financial assistance from their camps. 

This application will collect your information to verify eligibility, and confirm information with your chosen camp. 

ELIGIBLITY:
  • Family must live in California, Oregon or Washington state and choose an overnight camp in these states
  • At least one parent of the camper is Israeli (or the camper themselves is Israeli-born)
  • Camper must not have attended any Jewish overnight camp for more than 10 days prior to summer 2023 (please note: Some families participated in this program in 2022 when it was a two-year grant; those families remain eligible for their second summer grant if they were new in 2022)
  • Camper must not have previously received and used a One Happy Camper grant
  • Multiple children per family may be eligible; we ask for a complete application per child
  • Families will be asked to complete the pre-summer survey (as part of this form) and a post summer survey
Please Note: There are a limited number of grants available for campers who attend Jewish day school. 

This form includes a brief pre-camp survey that FJC requests parents complete with their children. This survey captures information that helps FJC evaluate the impact of the program and helps us learn more about how camps can best serve the Israeli-American community. FJC will send an additional survey after camp to ask similar questions. There are no right or wrong answers to the questions – try to answer as honestly as you can!
