Affordability

Thanks to our generous community, camperships are available to make camp affordable for all. We believe that Jewish summer camp has a lifelong impact which should be available for every Jewish child.

In addition to Camp Yavneh camperships, there are other places that offer additional funding for camp, including your synagogue or local federation. The Foundation for Jewish Camp has compiled a list of federations that offer first time camper incentives.

One Happy Camper and PJ Library have campership funds available for first time campers. Applications are generally due in the fall. Click on the links for more information. Please note: Awards from these grants will not be deducted from the camper’s invoice until Camp Yavneh has received the funds.

In response to parent feedback and our own desire to simplify the process, we are discontinuing the use of the FACTS system.  This year’s form is available now on your CampInTouch dashboard.

Families who submit their applications and all required materials by February 1, 2026 will receive notification of their award by the end of February 2026.  We will continue to accept applications through May 2026, but they will be considered on a rolling basis, and the funds will, at that time, be far more limited.

Additional Sources of Support
As always, we strongly encourage families to explore other avenues of assistance, including:

• Local Jewish Federations
• Synagogue or rabbinic discretionary funds
• Day school support funds that help students attend Jewish overnight camps

If you have any questions about the Campership Application and Process, please contact Shore (shore@campyavneh.org).
