With Camperships for All

They are not scholarships but \”camperships\” in Jewish summer camp parlance. Of the 1,000 campers expected soon at Malibu\’s Camp JCA Shalom, which is supported by JCCGLA, about 200 parents applied for camperships.

\”It\’s amazing, in the past few years, the income level of people who are requesting camperships,\” said Bill Kaplan, executive director of the Shalom Institute, which runs Camp JCA Shalom. Its campership aid this year will run about $130,000, $75,000 of which is general camp aid from The Federation. That is an increase from the $50,000 The Federation made available 2002, the boost due to the increase in cash-strapped families.
