Jewish Camping
Every year The Jewish Federation helps hundreds of kids experience the great outdoors through Jewish overnight 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 time campers with an unforgettable and transforming camping experience.
