It's all about our campers. Everything we do supports our belief that every youngster deserves a summer of fun. To provide the best for our campers we have reached out to our community since our earliest history, and the generosity of our donors has made our mission possible. Private donations in large part have sustained our tradition.

All children, some with scholarship assistance, are a part of the JORI family each summer. And the beauty of our mission is that no one knows who the recipients are. Side by side, all campers learn skills, discover independence, personally grow over each summer season.

Individual charitable gifts have made it possible for all children to be part of and to enjoy the JORI family each summer. Whether it be giving to our annual scholarship request, building our outstanding site with our capital campaign, or ensuring the camp for future generations with our 1909 Legacy Society, the many gifts from our donors continue the tradition of our mission. We have been, are and will be faithful to our history.

OUR ANNUAL FUND AND SCHOLARSHIPS

Each summer we provide scholarship, offering children of families in financial need the opportunity to be part of the JORI experience. The single parent, the unemployed, those who are facing economic hardship or medical crises, contact Paul Segal. In a strictly confidential conversation, he awards camp scholarships. All families are asked to contribute a portion of the cost.

Annually, we ask for donations to our scholarship fund. If you would like to participate, please email donations@campjori.com and someone will contact you. Your tax deductible gift means so much to the recipient. Your contribution has great impact on a camper and his or her family.

OUR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN/BUILDING FUND

Camp JORI sits on over 72 acres of pristine woodland, on the largest lake in Rhode Island with an exceptional waterfront for boating and fishing, with woodland paths and pine groves. The site is surrounded by Nature Conservancy protected land.

The buildings are all state-of-the-art from the large dining hall with a professional kitchen; the rec hall which can accommodate all of the campers at one time; the theatre/auditorium/sanctuary; the cabins with showers and all single beds for sleeping; the LIT village for the older campers; the infirmary/health center which is a separate building; the playing fields for baseball/softball, soccer, basketball; the tennis courts; the two pools with slides and a fountain; nature trails, and everything to make Camp JORI among the finest of environments.

The achievement of our outstanding facility continues to be a community effort. Based on a commitment to Jewish camping and to the excellence of the JORI experience, many supporters have made JORI the superior camp that it is.

But, we still have plans for expansion and improvement, and naming opportunities.
If you would like to participate, please contact donations@campjori.com. We will be happy to discuss your personal interest and answer any questions you may have.

THE 1909 LEGACY SOCIETY OF CAMP JORI

To ensure the future of the JORI camping experience, the 1909 Legacy Society of Camp JORI was recently inaugurated. Camp JORI alumni and friends have the opportunity to help make sure that we can continue to meet the needs of tomorrow's children. With your commitment, JORI will be positioned to maintain this gem for another 100 years and beyond, to continuously improve our facility and programs and to provide access for generations of children to attend, regardless of their economic circumstances.

A legacy gift is the key to succeeding in our mission and in insuring our community's investment in our great asset.

The Legacy Society gift supports the camp in perpetuity by including Camp JORI in estate planning and bequests. A gift of this nature is personal. If you wish further information, we suggest that you contact donations@campjori.com and a member of Legacy Society leadership will call you.
