Grants and Financial Aid for BB Camp

BB360 is committed to affordability, keeping camp fees as low as possible, and ensuring no child is turned away from camp. In addition, BB Men’s Camp Association, Foundation for Jewish Camp, and Jewish Federation have generously provided Grants so that as many kids as possible can benefit from a rich Jewish camp experience. These grants are available to all Jewish campers regardless of financial need. Need based financial assistance is also available.
