The St. Paul Jewish Federation is partnering with The Foundation for Jewish Camp’s One Happy Camper to provide grants for first-year Jewish overnight campers. Grants are first come first served and are NOT based on financial need.
To qualify for the One Happy Camper grant, your child must:
*If your child meets the requirements above, they may qualify for a $1,000 grant if attending camp for at least 19 consecutive days or a $700 grant if attending for 12-18 days.
Please note that campers who attend Jewish day school or yeshiva are ineligible. But you can apply for Federation summer camp scholarships.
How it works
1. Register with one of the approved overnight camps.
2. Fill out an application on the One Happy Camper website. One Happy Camper will forward your application to your local Federation.
3. Federation will then process your application and inform you of your grant status.

The scholarship deadline is March 31, 2022
