Dear PJ Library Family:

We are delighted with your family’s connection to The PJ Library^® and hope that you have enjoyed the wonderful books and music you have received.  In addition to The PJ Library, the Harold Grinspoon Foundation is committed to Jewish overnight camping.  We believe that the 24/7 camp environment provides a natural extension of the PJ experience, giving young people the opportunity to develop lasting friendships, explore Judaism, and try new things in a safe, nurturing community.

In order to make the magic of camp possible for more Jewish children, we are partnering with the Foundation for Jewish Camp to introduce PJ Goes to Camp.  This new program is offering camperships of up to $1,000 to families whose children wish to enroll in Jewish overnight camp for the first time.  This offer is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

To get a taste of the excitement of Jewish overnight camp, watch the video at this link!
