"Joining our camp is like joining an extended family."
It’s more than just a camp, it’s an EXPERIENCE! Our goal is for each camper to grow in an atmosphere, which promotes integrity, self-esteem, positive values, and good sportsmanship. Our belief is that your child will walk away with their lives significantly impacted from learning life-skills and making new friends in our warm, safe, and nurturing camp community.

Our families say it best...
"I enjoy sending my child to a place that builds his confidence and makes him so incredibly happy. I love the exposure to different activities, and I love the friendships he forms with his friends from the Jewish community."
"We think this camp is very important because our grandchildren learn about Israel, Jewish traditions and heritage, but the best thing is that they all learn ruach."
"Thank you for everything this summer...you guys work so hard to hire the best staff and come up with such outrageously fun activities and special things for those kids, every day - another awesome summer for our girls, and we’re so very appreciative."
Psst... Parents... We make it easy for you!
