JCamping
JCamping helps strengthen Jewish identity in children and families across Greater Atlanta by making overnight camp more accessible and meaningful. We offer first-year incentive grants, need-based scholarships, personalized support to help you choose the right camp, and funding that enhances camp programming. We believe every child should have the opportunity to experience the joy, connection, and personal growth that Jewish overnight camp offers.
What we do
Strengthening Our Youth’s Jewish Identity & Connection Through Camp
JCamping helps make Jewish overnight camp financially feasible for families by offering scholarships, as well as first-year One Happy Camper and Russian-Speaking Jewish (RSJ) incentive grants, in partnership with the Foundation for Jewish Camp. These resources help remove financial barriers, making it easier for more children to access meaningful Jewish camp experiences.

The initiative fosters a sense of belonging and community among families, encouraging social ties and lasting friendships through shared camp experiences.

Testimonials

Thank you so much for giving me the chance to go to camp year and year again. While this may have been the last year for me as a camper, I feel the need to go back again and give the same/better experience to another kid. This is all because of you and the work you put into letting me come to camp. Because of you I have had experiences I will remember forever, and friends that will last me a lifetime. Thank you so much!

First-Time Atlanta Camper

“This is her 4th summer there, and throughout the school year, she was counting down the days until she could return “home” to camp. It’s a place that is joyfully Jewish, a place where she can express herself freely and grow as a person, and a place where she has built the kind of meaningful friendships that one can only find at camp. I love that she can be carefree (and screen-free), and that she can have so much FUN in a safe and loving environment, all while strengthening her sense of pride in being Jewish. As a parent, I’m so grateful for the gift of Jewish camp!”
