Camp Philosophy
At Camp Kadimah, we strive to create and atmosphere of adventure, creativity, friendship and unity in a safe, secure camping environment.  We provide ourcampers and CITs with a sense of community, unforgettable memories, and a Jewish consciousness that lasts a lifetime.  For us, camp goes beyond recreation; it’s where “the other learning” takes place.  Camp Kadimah inspires every camper to reach their full potential, with the opportunity for self-expression within a well-balanced and diverse programming.
