The Kadimah Scholarship Fund

Camp Kadimah prides itself as being a place of magic, warmth and Jewish cultural inspiration. Our hope is that every Jewish child who aspires to go to camp will be able to have that experience. Camp Kadimah’s Scholarship Fund was established with the vision of helping Jewish children attend Kadimah who may otherwise not be able to do so. The scholarship fund prioritizes the needs of Atlantic Canadians through the Leventhal Fund. As a whole, the scholarship fund helps to offset registration costs for families whose financial situation makes it difficult to afford the full camp fee.

Prospective families are welcome to email scholarship@campkadimah.com to request more information about receiving a need-based scholarship.

Camp Kadimah’s Scholarship Fund is made possible by the generous support of the following organizations and individuals:

  • Atlantic Jewish Council: The Atlantic Jewish Council is dedicated to enhancing the quality of Jewish life in Atlantic Canada and promoting the continuity of Jewish communities in the region. We recognize and appreciate the generosity of the AJC and its Bequest & Endowment arm – the Atlantic Jewish Foundation – for its support of Kadimah and Atlantic Canadian campers over the years.

  • Canadian Young Judaea (CYJ): As Canada’s largest Jewish youth movement, Canadian Young Judaea brings together youth from coast to coast with shared values of ahavat yisroel, tikkun olam and shalom. CYJ provides scholarship support to Kadimah and sister YJ camps annually to help kids attend camp who otherwise could not afford the experience.

  • Private Donors: We are extremely grateful to alumni and friends of Camp Kadimah for their generous support our camp. If you would like to make a donation, please contact us at office@campkadimah.com.
