5 STAR REVIEWS FROM HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES

• "I just wanted to let you know how much both of my children have enjoyed camp Kalsman. They had a great time. They both feel very strongly about going back there next year. As a matter of fact, that is the first thing they ask me when I picked them up. My oldest one shared she loved the Shabbat experience and the songs in particular. She also got a new appreciation for the prayer sessions that happened every day. I am so glad I had the opportunity to send both of my children to camp and experience something that I hope will remain with them always. I also hope to be able to send them again. It is a great experience for any Jewish child."

“Our daughter has been going to Camp Kalsman for the last 4 years and in her own words describes her experience there as ‘life changing’ because it has helped her to feel more connected to Judaism. When she comes home from camp, the hardest part for her is that she desperately misses her friends and the Kalsman experience. It is usually two to three days of tears until she recovers and integrates back into her home life. I’m so glad that she loves being there and feels more connected to Jewish friends and culture. Her time at camp has been a major factor in defining her positive Jewish identity.”

“I cannot thank Camp Kalsman enough for making an absolutely fabulous first-time camp experience for our sons. In the weeks since they’ve come home, there has not been a day without multiple camp memories and references. They LOVED it and are already making their plans for next year. I have heard about Maccabiah, Israeli dancing, mountain biking, the climbing tower, swimming, Shabbat song session, and on and on. Most of all, the kids have talked non-stop about the people – friends and staff alike. I must also convey a special thanks to the nursing staff and chefs who took such good care in regards to food allergies. They were thorough and professional – and as importantly they were kind and caring and allowed our kids to be and feel safe. Thank you for this commitment to safety and accessibility for all kids."

“The sense of Jewish pride that Camp Kalsman has given our child is deep. He is completely comfortable as a Jewish person largely due to his incredibly positive and enriching experience at Camp Kalsman.”
