In February 2023, we hosted what would become
Camp Kulam, a multi-cultural day camp program for kindergarten to second graders
of all identities, heritages, and backgrounds, and specifically centering Jews of Color. Camp offered a new model of celebrating and elevating the diversity of the Jewish community through an immersive, week-long set of fun activities and experiences.
We are excited that Camp Kulam will be back! SAVE THE DATES!
When: Tuesday, February 20 – Friday, February 23, 2024 (NYC Mid-Winter Recess)
Where: Hannah Senesh Community Day School | 342 Smith Street, Brooklyn, NY (at the Carroll Street F/G subway stop)
Who: All Kindergarten to 3rd graders from any school
Join us for a fun week where campers will:
- Enjoy a variety of fun activities including sports, arts, creative play, cooking, music, dance, and more,
- Celebrate and learn about Jewish cultures and communities around the world,
- Explore and feel proud of their own identities,
- Become a part of our special camp community,
- Feel free to be their most authentic selves!
Camp was just the beginning and we are already hard at work planning what's next! If you would like to learn more about camp or receive updates as we roll out additional
