ST. LOUIS - TelAve -- Camp Sabra is proud to announce new scholarship and grant opportunities for Summer 2026, made possible through the extraordinary generosity of Michael Staenberg. These awards expand access to Camp Sabra's confidence-building, friendship-forming, Jewish identity–strengthening overnight camp experience. Scholarship & Grant Opportunities for Summer 2026 include:

• Michael Staenberg Second Year Camper Grant
  Eligible returning campers may receive up to $850 toward Summer 2026 tuition if they received a 2025 One Happy Camper grant—helping make a second summer at Camp Sabra possible.
• Tuition-Free, Need-Based Scholarship
  Camp Sabra will award up to ten full-tuition, need-based scholarships to ensure financial circumstances never prevent a child from experiencing the magic of camp.

"A tuition free, need based scholarship to Camp Sabra is a game changer. There are families who want to send their children to Jewish summer camp, to Camp Sabra, but simply cannot afford it. Because of Michael Staenberg's generosity, families who once thought camp was out of reach can now say yes," said Kim Sloan, Camp Director at Camp Sabra. "The second-year camper grant is also incredibly impactful. The first year sparks interest, but the second year is when camp truly becomes a child's summer home. This support helps families bridge that gap and gives campers the chance to belong."
