Camp Consultation

FJC’s expert consultant offers support in all areas of camp operation - from camps just starting out to camps operating below their capacity.

Are you looking to open a new camp?

Scouting potential sites, identifying a new market, and planning a unique program are the building blocks of a new camp. But achieving success means looking at the venture from all angles. The New Camp Initiatives program provides a consultant to assist in the strategic growth, planning and implementation of a new camp concept.

Once a new camp has been accepted into the program, the camp will be evaluated to determine its specific needs. The consultant will then tailor an action plan to help the camp develop and grow. New camps mean more environments where Jewish children experience unforgettable summers.

Interested camps are directed to apply to the FJC for assistance. On-going consultation and assistance is provided to the camp organization.

Are you looking to increase your capacity?

Camps operating below their enrollment capacity have the greatest potential for growth. Focused on camps in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, the Turnaround Project engages participants in a series of hands-on, interactive workshops on topics such as financial management, sales and marketing, customer service, camp operations and program design. Each camp director receives ongoing support from an FJC consultant who provides individual guidance and training, empowering camps to reach new levels of success.
