Camps and Summer Fun

Local, national scholarships can help send kids to camp

The Coalition for Jewish Education of the Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona is accepting scholarship applications for a Jewish camp experience this summer.

Any student currently attending Tucson Hebrew Academy or a religious school program in Southern Arizona is eligible to apply for this need-based scholarship.

Funded by the Mo and Frances Beren Family Scholarship Fund at the Jewish Community Foundation of Southern Arizona, this scholarship may be applied toward any Jewish overnight camp and is meant to be combined with funding from other sources. The deadline is Feb. 13; download an application at www.jfsa.org/campscholarships or call Suzanne at 577-9393 for more information.

Campers may qualify for additional funding through the Foundation for Jewish Camp’s One Happy Camper program and PJ Goes to Camp (www.jewishcamp.org/one-happy-camper).
