July 2021 Fund in Focus: Jack and Fay Ruby Camp Fund
July/August 2021 Fund in Focus: Jack and Fay Ruby Camp Fund

Summer camps are re-opening! And the demand will be greater than ever this year since kids missed out last summer. We expect to receive many requests for financial assistance to help kids go to camp, and contributions to the Jack and Fay Ruby Camp Fund will help us provide critical support for as many families as possible. Summer camp has always been a hugely impactful experience for children; this year more than ever since we have all been cooped up inside for much of the last year.
Your donation to the Ruby Camp Fund will help ensure that as many kids as possible enjoy the fun times, the beauty of nature, and the amazing community experience that Jewish sleepaway camp offers.
Please consider making a donation to the Jack and Fay Ruby Camp Fund! You can make your donation online or by mailing a check made payable to “Congregation Beth Am” to the Administrative Office as follows:
