CAMP KIBBUTZ 2014
7 weeks - endless fun!
Chaverim,Camp Kibbutz is a special place where children come together to explore Torah and enjoy summer as one big family. Every child has the opportunity to do what s/he love while trying new and exciting things under the watchful eyes of our dedicated and experienced staff of professionals and volunteers.
Younger children bond with older children and teens while enjoying davening, music, arts & crafts, sports, and traditional camp ruach (spirit). Long-‐lasting friendships are forged, as is a deeper love of Torah and Jewish life.
Every day is a new adventure at Camp Kibbutz, filled with creativity and fun. From wacky theme days to incredible field trips and campouts, there’s always something to smile about.
Camp Kibbutz aims to be a Torah-‐learning and community building experience open to all: affordable and accommodating. In addition to our competitive pricing, need-‐based scholarships are available.
We hope you will join us for an amazing summer.
Sarah Shapiro, Camp Director Rabbi Shmuel Herzfeld
