Grants & Scholarships

First-Time Camper Grants

Incentive grants may be available through the One Happy Camper program for campers from certain communities attending Jewish overnight summer camp for the first time, regardless of financial need.

After applying and paying your deposit to Ramah in the Rockies, please go to www.OneHappyCamper.org to see if you qualify.

First-time campers coming from communities without OHC funds may be able to receive a grant through Ramah Rishon, our movement’s first-time camper program. Funds are extremely limited and will be distributed on a first come, first served basis.

Need-Based Financial Aid

At Ramah in the Rockies, we are committed to ensuring that all Jewish children have the opportunity to engage in the magic of intentional Jewish living in a rustic outdoor environment. We have a variety of need-based assistance, location-based assistance, and first time camper incentives available. All need-based assistance is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis beginning in October each year and will be distributed until it is gone. We have a very simple two step application process; see below for information.

Military Family Discount

We are pleased to offer an automatic 40% discount to active duty US Military families. Please email Rabbi Eliav Bock at eliavb@ramahoutdoors.org for more information.

How to apply for financial aid

To apply for financial aid, please complete the following steps:

Step 1

Submit the financial aid request form.

Step 2

Email the scholarship committee the first two pages of your tax return, and include copies of schedules A, B, C, and D if applicable.

**Please note: If you send password protected files, you MUST also provide the password – or else your application may be delayed or declined.

While the committee tries to honor requests, it also strives to serve many families with the limited funds available. We encourage you to also approach your local Rabbi, synagogue, or Jewish Federation to request support to send your child to Jewish camp.

Please contact our Registrar, Sandra Yaron, at sandray@ramahoutdoors.org with any questions.

All requests for financial aid are treated with the highest degree of confidentiality.
The National Ramah Commission and Ramah in the Rockies acknowledges with thanks the generous support of the Zell Family Foundation in making the Ramah Open Door Program possible.
