Jewish Camp Information
Experiencing summer at a Jewish camp is an important part of a Jewish child's life. There is absolutely nothing like the ruach (spirit) and kehilah (community) at Jewish camp! According to a 2011 study, Jewish camp builds Jewish identity unlike almost anything else. People who attend Jewish summer camp are:
- 21% more likely to feel that being Jewish is very important
- 45% more likely to attend synagogue at least once a month as an adult
Additionally, 70% of young Jewish leaders in their 20s and 30s attended Jewish summer camp as children.
