When you make a tax-deductible gift to camp,
you nurture summers of fun and confidence, warm communities, lasting friendships, and Jewish values. You help young people grow, mature, and create meaningful connections, becoming their “best selves:” independent, engaged, and caring. Beyond your impact on camper scholarships, counselor professional development, facility enhancements, and more, you’ll get deep satisfaction in knowing you are transforming lives and sustaining camp for each future generation. The Cohen Camps are nonprofit organizations. We appreciate and honor each donor. Your gift matters!
So many ways to contribute!
Please make your check payable to your camp’s name or to “Cohen Camps” if you would like to support all three camps together.

How to:

By naming your camp(s) as a beneficiary of all or a part of your retirement plans, your estate may be able to minimize certain income and estate taxes while increasing your impact on future campers. To name your camp(s) as a beneficiary, simply list the camp’s name on your beneficiary form for either a dollar amount or a percentage of the total.
