Sponsorship Opportunities
This milestone celebration is also a critical moment for Gilboa’s future. The funds we raise during L’dor V’dor will help us in four essential areas:
Everyday Operations – covering the real costs of running camp next summer, from food and supplies to staffing and year-round programming. Sponsorship opportunities for next summer include sponsoring Shabbar dinners, special days such as Tiyul, BoCoup, or Revo, and more. Click here for more information.
Scholarships – ensuring every child who wants to attend camp can do so, regardless of family resources. Donate at www.campgilboa.org/give or support our Tour de Summer Camps team.
Capital Campaign – investing in improving and expanding facilities that will carry Gilboa into the next 90 years. We have naming opportunities available in our Capital Campaign, which is currently in its quiet phase. Opportunities range from the Gaga Pit or Kayak Shed for $18,000 to the Chadar Ochel building for $500,000. Details here.
Endowment - Camp Gilboa’s Builders & Dreamers Legacy Society secures the camp’s strength, sustainability, and continuity for generations to come. If you contribute to our Endowment between now and 2027, your donation will be matched 1:3 https://www.campgilboa.org/legacygiving. Contact info@campgilboa.org for more information.
Your sponsorship isn’t just support for an event, it’s what keeps Gilboa vibrant, accessible, and able to live out its mission. It ensures we can continue to be a place where young people think deeply about the world, form lasting bonds, and gain the skills to be thoughtful leaders in their communities.
