How Jewish Summer Camp Benefits Kids, Families, and Identity
Camp Laurelwood Creates Room to Grow
Camp Laurelwood in Madison, Connecticut, offers day camp for children entering kindergarten through seventh grade and overnight camp for those entering grades two through 10. Activities include aquatics, sports, arts, theater, robotics, community service, and outdoor challenges.
Jewish life flows naturally through the Laurelwood experience. Campers welcome Shabbat by leading services and blessings, sharing a meal, and singing together.
The Shabbat celebration concludes with Havdalah under the stars. Weekly programming incorporates values such as community, connection to the Jewish people, kindness, well-being, and responsibility across generations. Camp Laurelwood’s approach to Jewish life helps campers practice those values through relationships and everyday choices.
For families considering Jewish summer camp, Camp Laurelwood offers children a place to have fun, step outside their comfort zones, and build relationships that can last long after summer ends.
