Summer Camp

Summer camp has become a major growth industry, transforming from the time spent communing with nature of the Boomer years into a panorama of exciting and enriching themed experiences targeted at children’s unique and diverse needs. Today, discerning campers can choose from summer camps centered on sports, travel and tourism, art, academics, technology, religion and culture, and so much more.

The purpose of summer camp is the same as it always was, to help kids grow and develop in a positive way, and today there are more ways to do this than ever before. But the essence of camp remains the same: Caring adults interact with young campers to help them learn and grow.

Each of today’s summer camps has a unique outlook and program designed to aid campers in developing skills, learning new things, or gaining an appreciation for their culture or the diversity of others. Camp Walden is a Jewish summer camp celebrating Jewish culture.

As you select the summer camp that’s right for your son or daughter, keep in mind your child’s interests and needs as well as the lessons you want your child to take away from camp. For Jewish parents, Camp Walden is a great choice for introducing your child to other Jewish children in an affirmative and supportive cultural setting.

Summer camp is an experience every child should have, and it’s very much a part and parcel of what we think of when we think of childhood. Sure, today’s lifestyle is more hectic and rushed than in the past, but the structured activities of camp along with some blocks of time for kids to be kids in the great outdoors lets you feel good about sending your child out for an unforgettable summer.
