Your Gift

Since 1907, Camp Wise has been a second home for tens of thousands of children and staff members. This continues to be possible because of the hard work and commitment of our families, alumni, and community. Our donors make it possible for us to provide every child with a camp experience no matter the financial hardship. They provide us with the resources to grow the Jewish life and culture, create innovative programming, enrich our staff training, and maintain our camp facility. This is an essential part of how we create that Camp Wise magic.
When you choose to give a gift to Camp Wise, you are investing in the future of our Jewish Community and building the next generation of Jewish leaders.

YOUR GIFT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

The Lenny Rubin Israel Center

Lenny Rubin was the beloved director from 1972-1975. He is fondly remembered by his campers and staff members. After losing his courageous battle to brain cancer in the spring of 2007, the Lenny Rubin Israel Center was built to honor his commitment to Camp. Donations designated to this fund support the Lenny Rubin Israel Center which includes bringing Israeli Staff and campers to camp, implementing Israel education programs, and sending a group of campers to Israel.
