We will apply this Welcome Grant to your account directly. No further action needed on your part!

In addition, many campers who are new to Jewish overnight camping qualify for the Foundation for Jewish Camp (FJC) One Happy Camper (OHC) program. See the next item below for how to apply.

Many campers who are new to Jewish overnight camping qualify for the Foundation for Jewish Camp (FJC) One Happy Camper (OHC) program. This terrific resource provides need-blind grants of up to $1000 for your first-time camper’s tuition, and up to $500 for each subsequent camper in your household!

Eligibility and grant amounts are determined by your local sponsoring organization. Your family must apply for One Happy Camper directly.

You will receive two confirmations: one to let you know that your application was received, and a second one when your grant gets approved. Please let us know when you receive this second confirmation indicating you are approved.

Keep camp in the family! Enroll multiple children or siblings at this camp – or at any of the three Cohen Camps (Tel Noar, Tevya and Pembroke) – and save. Your first camper attends at regular tuition, and all your additional campers receive a reduced rate: $350 off the Full Season or $200 off First or Second Session.

Please note: only one discount per child, so first-timer children in the same household will receive the higher First-Time Camper Welcome Grant, and then the Multi-Child Discount when applicable in subsequent years.

As a returning camper, you can sign up in the fall at Early Bird tuition rates and priority placement before we open enrollment to new families. The deadline is FIRM, so please apply quickly!

Complete the application process and pay your tuition in full by January 31, 2024 to enjoy a discount for each camper:

• $200 off the Full Season
• $125 off First or Second Session
• $75 off for the 2-week Taste of Pembroke
• $250 off for Dor L’Dor

You may use any form of payment to pay in full by this date:

• Preferred: Cash, eCheck, or mailed check
• Credit cards also accepted

Currently-enrolled camper families, please invite your friends to join the Cohen Camps family. They’ll get a First-Time Camper Grant–and you’ll get a $150 Referral Thank You at the end of their first summer! Refer a Friend here.

Please note: open only to currently-enrolled camper families.

The Cohen Camps Scholarships offer partial tuition assistance to families based on financial need. We believe that the Jewish summer camp experience should be available for every Jewish child, regardless of ability to pay. We allocate tuition assistance using a fee scale based on family size, income, and expenses, and require a current tax return. Families must reapply for assistance each year.

We send out the Cohen Camps Scholarships application form in November/December. Please contact the Cohen Camps office at 781.489.2070 as soon as possible for information, forms, requirements, and deadlines. The Scholarship Committee will only consider applications where a camper’s deposit has been paid.

Please note that CJP, Boston’s Jewish Federation, provides additional camp scholarships based on these same Cohen Camps forms. The CJP deadline is earlier than the Cohen Camps deadline. To receive the maximum possible aid, we encourage you to complete your application by the earlier CJP deadline, which will be specified in your Cohen Camps Scholarships application materials.

Please do so as early as possible, because these funds are often limited.
