Jewish Summer Camp
Jewish camp weaves Jewish values, culture, and traditions into the fabric of camp, helping campers to connect to their own identity and the larger Jewish community. Spirited and dynamic staff members use experiential learning to reveal what makes Jewish religion and culture unique today. At camp, Jewish and Israeli culture is celebrated through song, food, art, and dance.
The impact of Jewish camp is immediate—campers return home connected to a community and friends that will last them a lifetime. And it doesn't stop there. Children with pivotal Jewish camp experiences are likelier to become adults who value their Jewish heritage, support Jewish causes, and take on leadership roles in their communities.
