 In the coming months, 8,790 Jewish children, aged 6-14, from all over the former Soviet Union will be spending four weeks in one of our thirty-seven Gan Israel Summer Camps.
Federation sleep-away camps combine an informal Jewish atmosphere with fun recreational activities, arts & crafts, and day trips. Many of the campers come from orphanages, unstable homes, or extreme poverty. Our camps provide them with a much-needed respite from the demands of daily life and surround them with a loving and supportive environment.
In most cases, the camps offer children their first exposure to activities such as hiking or swimming in the ocean, as well as their first exposure to Judaism. Three healthy and hearty kosher meals are provided every day to help keep the children energized and happy during their daily activities. Through our educational and exciting camp setting, young Jews are able to learn about their heritage and forge lasting friendships with their peers.
This year, we need to raise over $2 million to support the 8,800 children in our camp program. Each year, we manage to meet our goal thanks to the kindness and generosity of people like you. Your thoughtful gift to the FJC Camp Fund will give many Jewish children living in the former Soviet Union an unforgettable camp experience and a new connection to their roots. Please think of us this summer and help us touch the lives of thousands of Jewish children across the FSU.
