Why Jewish Camp?

Jewish camp is just plain fun. But it’s also much more than that - it’s camp with a soul.

An immersive and highly social experience, camp offers kids a sense of physical and emotional well-being, a strong sense of belonging, and a safe space to foster and develop important skills like empathy, resilience, and collaboration. And it does all this while weaving Jewish values, culture, and traditions into the fabric of camp through song, nature, sports, art, and community.
