Jewish Spirit
Our approach toward sharing our Jewish heritage is based on Ahavat Yisroel, with an open acceptance of every camper, regardless of their background.
From Challah baking and Shabbat parties every Friday, to the songs we sing and the games we play, Judaism is an integral part of our day at camp.

Our campers look forward to each day’s activities and events and leave with an enriched sense of Jewish pride.

Swimming
Campers swim at the JCC supervised by Red Cross certified lifeguards. Swimming instruction is also provided.

Field Trips
Trips are scheduled weekly for all groups. Our campers will visit and experience the best Connecticut has to offer.

Special Days
In-camp special days, including Carnivals, Waterworks, and Color War, will provide
