“I can’t wait to get back to camp! Sci-Tech is where I found my people!” -Sci-Tech Camper, 2021

Each year we must raise $100,000 for the Scholarship Fund so that every child who wants to attend 6 Points Sci-Tech Academy can come to enjoy a summer filled with curiosity and learning, fun and joyful Judaism, and…. to find their people. We will never turn families away. But it takes the whole community to make that happen. 

We need YOUR help!

Why is supporting Sci-Tech so important?

Why is raising scholarship funds so crucial to camp?

  • The rising cost of everything these days has directly affected our camp families in many ways- and we must increase our Scholarship Fund to give them the support they need to attend camp.
  • At 6 Points Sci-Tech we have very high standards. Our top-quality educational facility, along with access to the best and brightest minds in the Jewish science and technology community is a high priority for our program.
  • Our staff is highly trained in both the technical aspects of our curriculum but also in their approach to our campers. The expertise needed from our staff to ensure each unique camper is successful is something we value tremendously, and this has affected our overall camp expenses. Please consider donating to support our general operating needs and staff engagement.

A small way to have a LARGE Impact

Did you know it’s easy to make a monthly recurring donation to camp?

For the cost of a cup of coffee and a donut each week, you can have a significant impact on 6 Points Sci-Tech! Just $15 a month becomes $180 a year, and without any effort, you’ve made a HUGE difference and increased our ability to help bring more campers to 6 Points!

, simply select the “MONTHLY” tab to the right of “One Time.”

Tribute Gifts in Honor of Camp Staff

The URJ has a policy that prohibits tipping our camp staff. We ask that you please adhere to this policy and consider donating to the Scholarship Fund in honor of your camper’s counselors and mentors. We will notify them of this special tribute. You may include a message which we will share with your honoree.

“Donate” a Testimonial or story

We are grateful that many of our camp families support Sci-Tech. But we recognize that not all families are able to give financially. Please consider sending us a testimonial or story about how 6 Points Sci-Tech Academy has influenced your camper or family. These may remain anonymous.
