Shay Ziff was a camper at Friendship Circle Summer Camp and her family wants to make sure that everyone has a chance to enjoy camp as much as she did. To apply please contact Erin Berry ([email protected]) and Shay’s family will select the recipients.
Anyone in need of general tuition scholarship, please contact Erin Berry ([email protected]) and she will try to work with you.
