A Jewish camp is the ideal place to fi nd out more about your Jewish roots and traditions. If you‛ve never learned the Hebrew alphabet, here‛s your chance. If you‛re already more advanced in your knowledge, you‛ll have the perfect opportunity to build on what you know with one-on-one learning at your own pace. And there‛s nothing like a camp Shabbat, filled with singing, dancing and feasting, exciting programs, inspiring stories, plus lots of time to rest and read and charge up the batteries for another great week. Find out why, when campers are asked what their favorite part of camp is, Shabbat is the handsdown winner!

You won‛t want camp to end, and with our Kesher program it doesn‛t have to; Kesher means
connection. Your Kesher counselor will keep in touch with you all year long, and you‛ll join with your favorite counselors and camp friends for get-togethers and TRIPS throughout the school year.
