Jewish Camp Grants

Empowering Jewish Youth: Explore Our Camp Scholarship Opportunities

The Jewish Federation of Cape Cod plays a pivotal role in nurturing the Jewish identity and community spirit among young members of our community through a significant initiative: providing financial assistance for Jewish children to attend Jewish camps. Recognizing the profound impact of these camps, the Federation offers up to $1,800 per child, making these enriching experiences more accessible. Jewish camps are not just summer getaways; they are vibrant, immersive environments where children can deeply connect with Jewish traditions, culture, and values. These camps offer a unique space for Jewish youth to meet peers from various backgrounds, fostering a sense of belonging and community. The experience often leads to the formation of lifelong friendships and a lasting attachment to Jewish life and learning. By supporting children in attending these camps, the Jewish Federation of Cape Cod is investing in the future of our community, ensuring that the rich tapestry of Jewish heritage is passed on with joy, understanding, and pride.

The Ohringer Educational Grant

History:

The Jewish Federation of Cape Cod (JFCC) was honored to receive a transformative bequest from the estate of Susi Ohringer, a cherished member and devoted supporter of the Cape Cod Synagogue in Hyannis. This generous gift came with a heartfelt mission: to enrich and deepen the connection of Cape Cod's Jewish youth to their cultural and spiritual heritage. Ms. Ohringer's legacy is a clarion call to foster educational endeavors that ignite a lifelong passion for Jewish traditions and values among young minds. The scope of this funding is as broad as it is inspiring, encompassing everything from traditional Temple/Synagogue school programs to groundbreaking youth initiatives and even potential journeys to Israel. This grant is a canvas for Jewish educators' creativity, inviting them to propose the most innovative and impactful experiences. It's an opportunity to craft unique educational adventures that will not only educate but also enchant, ensuring that the bond between our young community members and their Jewish roots grows ever stronger and more meaningful.
