The Jewish Federation of New Hampshire (JFNH) is dedicated to strengthening and sustaining Jewish life across the Granite State.
Through educational programs, cultural events, and community support, we help individuals and families connect with their Jewish identity and with one another.
One of the most powerful ways we do this is by encouraging Jewish youth to experience the joy, friendships, and personal growth that come from attending Jewish summer camp.
Campership Grants: Making Jewish Camp Accessible for First-Time Campers
We believe that every child should have the opportunity to experience Jewish summer camp, regardless of financial circumstances. That’s why JFNH offers Campership Grants, designed to make camp more affordable for New Hampshire families. These grants help offset the cost of attending a Jewish overnight camp for first-time campers, allowing children to immerse themselves in a vibrant, supportive Jewish environment where they can build lifelong friendships, deepen their connection to Jewish traditions, and develop a strong sense of community.
Our Campership Grant Program is open exclusively to first-time campers attending an eligible Jewish overnight camp. If your child is exploring their Jewish identity through camp for the first time, our grants can help make it happen.

Why Jewish Camp?
Jewish summer camp is more than just a fun experience—it’s a transformational one. Studies show that attending Jewish camp fosters a lasting commitment to Jewish life, helping campers develop a deep appreciation for their heritage, traditions, and values. From singing Hebrew songs around the campfire to celebrating Shabbat under the stars, Jewish camp provides an environment where children can explore their faith and identity in a meaningful, joyful way.
Cohen Camps: A Home Away from Home
JFNH is especially proud to encourage families to explore the Cohen Camps—Camp Tel Noar, Camp Tevya, and Camp Pembroke—right in our region. These camps offer an enriching, welcoming Jewish experience, blending adventure, learning, and community in a way that makes summers unforgettable. With strong Jewish values at their core, Cohen Camps provide campers with a sense of belonging and pride that lasts long after the summer ends.

Our Partnership with the Foundation for Jewish Camp
We are proud to partner with the Foundation for Jewish Camp, a national organization dedicated to expanding and enriching Jewish camp experiences across North America. Their One Happy Camper initiative provides additional incentive grants for first-time campers, making Jewish camp even more accessible to families. Through our shared commitment, we work to ensure that every Jewish child has the opportunity to discover the magic of camp.
