Advocate

The power of Jewish camp can transform the lives of young people while solidifying their Jewish identity, something that doesn't end on the last day of camp. Even when camp is out of session, FJC spreads the message about the importance of Jewish camp, and we encourage you to participate.

Here are some ways you can advocate for Jewish camp in your community:

• Seek out local federation professionals, funders, and community camping leaders, and encourage them to create scholarship and/or incentive programs within your own community. Camper Grants & Scholarships »
• Support and distribute research about the field of Jewish camp, including market studies and the impact of Jewish camp on campers. The results of the research will enable camps to better serve their Jewish community. Visit our research page, and sign up to receive updates that will keep you and your local community leaders informed about the opportunities and challenges facing the field.

With the help of advocates like you, we can increase the number of children engaging in positive Jewish experiences at camp, benefiting the North American Jewish community as a whole.
