One Happy Camper
The Federation in cooperation with the Foundation for Jewish Camp provides incentive grants to encourage youth in grades 2-11 to participate in Jewish overnight nonprofit summer camps for twelve or more days.
Incentive grants will be awarded to first-time campers who are members of the greater Indianapolis Jewish community; at least one parent/guardian must be a member in good standing and contribute to the Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis in the year the grant is awarded.
As of 2011, youth who receive an intensive Jewish experience during the school year are ineligible for the Foundation for Jewish Camp Incentive grant.
In the summer of 2021, we sent 19 first-time campers to Jewish camp through the One Happy Camper grants!
There are a limited number of grants, and applications for all camp scholarships will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.
