A vision for the future of summer camp support.
What would it look like if organizations outside your camp understood the community-building power of summer camp?
We know that camp builds connections that last forever, but telling that story to people outside of the camp world can be tricky - and it’s even more tricky to find outside financial resources to support the community mission.
The work of JCamp180 is an incredible model for how advocacy and support can work on an industry level. Consulting, advocacy, grant-writing, and funding access - all things that JCamp180 has done to support Jewish Camping across North America.
The rest of this industry LISTEN UP.
The industry as a whole, does such a good job of sharing resources and collaboration, but especially when it comes to fundraising, we have this tendency to move into a scarcity mindset and try to do it all on our own.
This model is a vision for us to zoom out and look at how the industry, as a whole, can thrive under a network of financial support and advocacy.
