Frequently Asked Questions

Are all programs on JSummer.com kosher?

Yes. Every program listed on JSummer.com is kosher and shomer Shabbos — that is the editorial standard for all listings. Many camps are fully glatt kosher. JSummer.com is open to all Jewish families; the kosher standard is about the programs listed, not the families using the site.

Is JSummer.com free?

Completely free — both to browse and to be listed. There are no subscription fees, premium tiers, or pay-to-rank placements. Programs can submit at jsummer.com/submit-program.html at no cost.

How do I get my program listed?

What financial aid is available for Jewish summer programs?

The Foundation for Jewish Camp administers the One Happy Camper grant program, which provides up to $1,500 for first-time overnight campers at eligible camps. Many individual camps also offer need-based scholarships — always ask the camp directly. Community federations and day schools sometimes offer additional subsidies. See the full Jewish Summer Programs Guide for details.

How is JSummer.com different from other Jewish camp directories?

JSummer.com is the only directory that covers all four categories of Jewish summer programs — camps, Israel trips, kosher cruises, and concerts — in one place. It is entirely free, with no paid placements. Every listing is researched individually and includes full details: dates, pricing, age ranges, affiliations, and direct registration links.
