Camp Funds
More than $500,000 has been awarded in scholarships at the Camp. Thank you to the following scholarships for their help annually:
- The Morris Dane Campership Fund, established by the Dane Family to honor the memory of their father, husband and past president of the J.
- The Norman Cooper Fund supports the whole J. Norman was a social worker at the JCC who is remembered for his special commitment to our Community.
- The Kenneth Gotlib Campership Fund was established by his parents to honor the graduate of the JCC Preschool and Heritage Academy, an active J Camper and swim team participant.
- The Szafran family created the Jordan Szafran Scholarship Fund to honor the memory of their son, Jordan, who was an avid sports camper and Cudas swim team member.
- The David and Ruth Bennett Camp Scholarship Fund was established because the family wanted to make it possible for all who wish to enjoy a Jewish JCC summer camp experience.
- The Rabbi Mark Dov Shapiro Memorial Fund for Social Justice aims to help lower-income families send their children to summer camp at the Springfield JCC. The fund honors the life and legacy of Rabbi Mark Dov Shapiro, a beloved spiritual leader who passed away in July 2020.

Vi Uretsky Camp Scholarship Fund was established by Francine Uretsky Beranbaum and Susan Uretsky Strauss in memory of their mother Vi to provide need-based scholarships for JCC Summer Campers and honor her legacy of caring for children and helping people in need.
