Jewish Summer Camp
Camp changes lives.
Rabbi Riqi Kosovske encourages and supports Jewish summer camp as an optimal Jewish experience for youth and teens. She grew up at URJ Olin-Sang-Ruby Union Institute camp, was involved with NFTY, attended NFTY EIE high school semester in Israel, and worked as a counselor at OSRUI, NFTY-in-Israel and JCC Camp Kingswood, and directed JCC summer daycamps in the East Bay, California.
Rabbi Riqi loves and promotes camp. She has experience recommending URJ camps, Eden Village Camp and many other camps and Jewish teen and youth enrichment programs, and will help guide your family to choosing the right summer camp or program for your child or teen!
Funding: Harold Grinspoon Foundation generously offers families up to $1000 in HGF Camperships ($1500 for first summer), up to $500 for Jewish Family Camp retreats and experiences, and up to 50% cost of Year-Round youth and teen experiences.
