CJFS is proud to be a founding partner of Magic City Journeys, a new program that helps every Jewish kid in Birmingham get to Jewish overnight camp.

Here’s what this means for your family:

• $2,000 toward a child’s first summer at camp, and $1,500 for the second and third
• Up to $4,000 more per child for families who need it, set by a published scale
• One centralized form, about five minutes. You see your grant on the screen right away.
• Paid straight to the camp

It is open to Jewish children entering 2nd through 10th grade whose families live within 75 miles of Birmingham, at Camp Barney Medintz, Henry S. Jacobs Camp, Camp Ramah Darom, Camp Judaea, and other nonprofit Jewish overnight camps.

Applications open November 1, 2026 and close March 1, 2027.
