The summer months mean one thing for so many Jewish families: summer camp! But did you know that the Forward has always been a part of that tradition? Not only did the Yiddish Forverts regularly run stories and photos from camp, but the Forward Association even sponsored some camps and helped raise funds for others. 

A photo from the Forverts archive from 1930: 200 Jewish children happy to be attending Camp Vacamas near Kingston, New York, thanks to donations from Forverts readers.

Make your summer donation today to the Forverts and help us preserve the rich historical archive that documents more than a century of the American Jewish experience. 

The generosity of Forverts readers helped hundreds of young Jews experience the joys of summer camp. Let’s continue that tradition of generosity today by supporting the Yiddish archive and the year-round treasures within. 

Hot a gutn zumer!
