Beber Camp is committed to providing tuition assistance to families who demonstrate a financial need to help send their child(ren) to camp.
Internal need-based assistance is available through our scholarship fund for all of our programs, and we have partnered with the One Happy Camper (Campership) program to provide first-time incentives to encourage parents to choose Jewish camp. See below for the Beber Financial Aid application and for tools to help make camp more affordable for your family.
NEED-BASED ASSISTANCE
In partnership with our alumni, board, private foundations, and individual donors, Beber Camp is able to provide need-based financial assistance to our camp families.
- Beber Camp offers need-based scholarships to all of our families.
- One source of scholarship funds can be your local synagogue. Many synagogues provide assistance on behalf of their member families for camp programs.
- Another source of financial assistance is the Jewish Federation in your community. Many local Federations now sponsor need-based camp scholarships.
- We are committed to being your partner as your family moves through the financial aid process. Please do not hesitate to contact us at (847) 677-7130 with any questions or concerns.
- Please be aware that the committee will review your financial aid application once your camper is enrolled. If you are unable to cover the deposit cost, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Julia or Michael to discuss the best options for you.
The 2027 Financial Aid Application can be accessed here.
Applications for need-based assistance are being reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
- Any refund will be returned the way it was paid.
- All checks and bank drafts returned for insufficient funds will incur a $25 fee assessed on your account.
- If you are awaiting a refund, please do not dispute the charge with your cardholder. Payments that are disputed in error will incur a $50 fee assessed on your account.
Staff members have been instructed and agreed not to accept any gifts or monies from parents in accordance with the American Camping Association Guidelines of Professional Ethics. $85 will be added to your tuition bill per session/per camper that is specifically allocated towards our Staff Gratuity Fund. You may opt-out of this gratuity by contacting us.
