How scholarships impacted these families

“With help from a JCC scholarship, my daughter was able to attend Ranch Camp for two sessions this summer. This experience allowed her to explore her Jewish identity further in every day life at camp and to establish new friendships with girls from other places in Colorado. As a result she has a much better sense of who she is within the jewish community and outside. Her counselors and camp administrators fostered her to become her best self. She returned home with a better understanding of who she is and who she still strives to become. Thank you JCC and Ranch Camp!”

“We are so thankful that our two children were able to attend Camp Shai and have a little exposure to Judaism. They have enjoyed everyday and already are asking about attending next summer. We are thankful that we were able to have a portion of the tuition reduced, otherwise we most likely would have had to find a less enjoyable alternative. Thank you, JCC!”

“Our girls have had the summer of their lifetime with their friends at JCC! We could not be happier about the counselors and their warm and playful approach with the kids. The opportunity that the scholarship program has afforded us is priceless. The JCC camp has allowed our girls to grow in their interpersonal confidence as well as enjoy very meaningful friendships with the staff as well as other campers. To think, this wonderful experience has been made possible because of the scholarship program and funding that is available. We simply would not have been able to provide such a fulfilling summertime for our girls, without the JCC’s help. We have no doubt of the nourishing and long-lasting positive impact on our girls, and are grateful that the JCC has such a scholarship program available. Thanks again, and we hope to see you all next summer!”

“My family and I are beyond grateful for the financial assistance program that the Staenberg-Loup JCC ECE offers their families. My husband and I both work full time jobs and do okay, therefore I didn’t think that we would be eligible for additional help. I’m happy to say that I was wrong. Two kids enrolled full time at the Early Learning School and a mortgage all add up really fast. I’m thankful that I am able to provide the best early childhood education to both of my children, all the while still keeping a roof over our heads and food on the table!”

“Without financial assistance my son would not be able to attend the Maccabi Games. He is an all around athlete and enjoys participating and competing, as well as meeting new people from all over the country. He is very excited to go to Birmingham and participate next week!”
