" As a camper, Wise was where I had fun being Jewish for the first time, and it's where I realized how important it is to be a part of a Jewish community. "

At Camp Wise, children of all backgrounds and levels of observance come together to celebrate Jewish life. In our unique and welcoming community, experiential Jewish living helps campers feel proud of who they are. We integrate positive Jewish identification, a connection to Israel, and Jewish spirituality into each camper's experience. The values of tikkun olam (repairing the world) and gimilut chasidim (acts of kindness) are the foundation of camp and are woven into all aspects of daily camp life. 
Campers are active players in shaping our rich Jewish community through Shabbat celebrations, havdalah, song sessions, blessings at meals, Kosher meals, Israeli counselors, special programs and incredible ruach (spirit)!
