TESTIMONIALS
“My daughter Deja joined the camp for all of last summer. She had an amazing experience. Everyone was friendly and fun. The trips were excellent. She fit in so naturally. I loved the fact that it is a mixture of inside and outside play throughout the day. Allowing the children a chance to cool down.

“I had such an amazing time working at Kadimah JCamp!
The activities were fun to plan out and do, I had a great time getting
to know the kids and seeing them having a good time.
Working at the camp was one of my first times working with
children and my experience went beyond expectations!
I’m considering joining again in the summer!
”
“I was eager to return to Kadimah JCamp this winter and it was an absolute pleasure to do so. The most enjoyable part of it all stemming from the campers themselves. Whether it was a returning face from the summer or a new one, each camper added their own unique element to the camp, culminating in a workplace environment unlike any other. One that I absolutely love.
I also must applaud Ivan and Talya for making camp as wonderful as it was. Their hard work, planning, execution, and overall care they put into the camp is nothing short of miraculous. It was amazing being a part of this team and of this camp.
