Jewish Camping

Every year The Federation helps hundreds of kids experience the great outdoors through Jewish summer camps. Jewish youngsters get to enjoy a traditional summer camp while learning about Jewish culture and exploring their own Jewish identities. Our goal is to provide first and second time campers with an unforgettable and transforming camping experience.
