In 1994, the costs for JCC
day camps ranged from $245 to
$775 per session.
Through a new arrangement
with Hebrew Free Loan Associ-
ation, JCC families also can ap-
ply for camp loans ranging from
275 to $350. Families have up
to 10 months to pay off the loans.
Two co-signers are needed for
the loans, and, the JCC can act as
one of them.
Local scholarships ranging
from $300 to $1,000 are available
for B'nai B'rith Young Organiza-
tion (BBYO) summer programs.
The programs — and scholar-
ships — are for BBYO members
only.
At the high end of the BBYO
scholarship list is the Evan
Shapiro Leadership Award,
which pays $1,000 toward the
combined cost of the Interna-
tional Leadership Training Con-
ference and the International
Leadership Kallah or the Inter-
national Leadership Study in Is-
rael.
National scholarships also are
•offered for BBYO programs. ❑
With the number of stepfamilies
increasing rapidly, they should
surpass both the traditional nu-
clear and single-parent families
by the end of the decade.
Yet the difficulties that come
with the blending of two or more
families account for a divorce rate
even higher than that of first
marriages.
In Making Peace in Your Step-
family by Dr. Harold H. Bloom-
field, the well-known psychiatrist
acknowledges that most step-
families are born of loss. There-
fore, struggling parents and
stepparents should realize that
the frustration, guilt and resent-
ment they feel, and the conflicts
that emerge in new families, are
perfectly natural and can even-
tually be resolved.
Of course, this may or may not
occur naturally with time.
Parents who would like to help
things along should turn to the
tools and exercises in "Making
Peace in Your Stepfamily," which
are designed to open up the lines
of communication and help them
deal practically with a typical
stepfamily crisis. ❑
