An ACA-accredited, full-day camp experience
From underwriting a week of arts or sports to helping us purchase a new maker cart or sun shade, your sponsorship gift will have a meaningful impact at camp. Explore our summer camp sponsorship opportunities and help us deliver high-quality, enriching programming while keeping camp affordable and accessible for every family.
Our ACA-accredited program provides an authentic, outdoor day camp experience for children ages 5+, plus a Counselors in Training program for teens ages 14-15. Choose from traditional camp, inclusion camp for campers with different abilities, or 2-4-1 sports camp, all located on our 20-acre campus on the Springfield/Longmeadow line.
Every day, campers enjoy a wide range of exciting activities. They can swim in our pool, conquer the ropes course, master archery, or get active with many other indoor and outdoor sports and games. They can take a quieter moment to create something special in our arts & crafts sessions. They can connect with Jewish culture and customs through engaging Jewish activities and celebrations.
During the summer, campers build friendships, confidence and independence. Our caring counselors help them to meet and mingle with friends new and old, to take safe risks, and to develop new skills.
Enjoy summer days filled with swimming, sports and outdoor fun at Traditional Camp

Each week at camp, we explore a different Jewish value, brought to life through meaningful and enjoyable activities. These values are helpful for everyone in everyday life, and campers are supported to understand each value and how they can live it out at camp, at home, and at school.

“My son had such an amazing time at camp! He came home every day excited to tell me about new friends, fun activities, and all the adventures he got to try. As a parent, it was wonderful to see his confidence grow and to know he was in such a positive and supportive environment. We’re so grateful for the memories he made this summer!”

“My daughter felt so proud of being able to get up and perform her talent for the camp and loved how they cheered her on.”
for Isabelle L, age 5
"My girls REALLY loved camp. They loved the other kids they met, I thought it was great they were so exposed to such rich diversity of students, and they liked the camp counselors they had. I saw the relationship building in action each day, and you don't see that everywhere! My girls said they want to come back and earlier than we did this year. I loved the wide variety of activities they had and that a good amount of time was spent outdoors. Great value for what we received! THANK YOU!"
for Elizabeth B, age 12
