incentives

Minneapolis Judith & Michael Berman Jewish Campers Incentive - The Campership Incentive Program (CIP) seeks to increase the number of Jewish children enjoying transformative experiences at Jewish overnight summer camp. This is done by providing financial incentives to first-time campers who are not currently participating in an immersive daily Jewish experience. The Judith & Michael Berman Jewish Campers Incentive program provides up to $1,000 in camperships incentives for children in the Minneapolis metropolitan area.  The child must be attending at least a three-week Jewish overnight summer camp for the first time and not attend a Jewish Day School for their primary education.  As the Campership Incentive is not a need-based scholarship, recipients must not apply for additional need-based scholarships. Programs eligible for the incentive include:

• Four Week programs for entering 5th-11th graders (June 15th-July 14th)
• Three week programs for entering 9th and 10th graders (July 15th-August 5th)
