Grants & Scholarships: First-time campers may be eligible for PJ Library grants of up to $1000, generously funded by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation. In addition, many of our families have been able to pursue grants through their shuls, schools, or other local organizations. Another option is to check this list of scholarships to see if your camper is eligible for any of them. Tizmoret Shoshana has a limited number of internal need-based scholarships - these can be applied for as part of your camper application. Campers living in “Midwest” states (IL, WI, MN, OH, MI, KS, MO, IN) are potentially eligible for scholarships in the areas of Drama, Dance, Vocal Music, and Instrumental Music through a generous grant from the Ralla Klepak Foundation for Education in the Performing Arts.

Payment & Cancellation Policies

A $500 deposit per camper per session is required within 5 days of acceptance to hold your spot, ie. campers attending for the full summer will pay a $1000 deposit.

If you chose to pay by debit/credit card or echeck, we will charge the $500 per camper per session deposit when we receive confirmation that your camper will be attending (must be within 5 days of camper receiving the acceptance email). We also accept payment by Zelle to office@tizmoretshoshana.org. Balance can be paid either in full or monthly, with all payments collected by June 15th for first half, and July 15th for second half (with the potential exception of external grants that may be paid out during the summer).

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING CANCELLATION POLICY:
Cancellation prior to February 1st will incur a $250 service fee per camper per session. Cancellation prior to May 1st will incur a $500 service fee per camper per session. After May 1st, no fees will be refunded unless we can fill your spot BEFORE camp starts. Once camp begins, there are no refunds for campers leaving early for any reason whatsoever, whether it is by the camper/family’s choice or they are dismissed by the directors.

We anticipate opening Staff applications in December 2025. Preference will be given to applicants who can work for the full summer.
