Campership Program of Chicago
|
The Campership Program of
Chicago is offering
scholarships to Jewish
families who would like their
children to enjoy the fun and
fellowship of an overnight
camp that has a Jewish
affiliation.
Two scholarship levels are
available. Children attending a
Jewish camp for the first time
ever can receive $1250, and
those attending camp for the
second time can receive
scholarships of $750. The
program is not “needs based”,
there is no economic criteria.
The “need” which we hope to
make an impact on is spiritual
in nature and exists in all
income brackets.
Our goal is to reinforce and
strengthen the Jewish identity
of our youngsters, many of
whom rarely have an
opportunity to be in a Jewish
environment for an extended
period of time, by providing an
intense but enjoyable Jewish
experience in which they can
bond with other Jewish
youngsters and be influenced
by Jewish tradition, ritual, and
culture-all under the guidance
of effective Jewish role
models. No experience more
effectively achieves this end
than an overnight Jewish
camp; it is a total immersion
experience that hopefully will
have a transformative effect
during the most
impressionable years of a
youngster’s life.
