Why Kinder Ring?

Our Community

Camp Kinder Ring is more than just a summer getaway. It is a community filled with caring people. Each family who joins our community is welcomed with open arms and instantly becomes part of our deep and rich history. We care about your children, our environment, and the larger world in which we live. This message is reflected in every experience we build into the Kinder Ring program. The rich Jewish cultural heritage and values are part of our fabric. Your child’s adjustment to Camp is guided and supported. Each child feels cared for and nurtured. Learning to live and respect a larger community is an important outcome of a Kinder Ring Summer.

Our Balance

The whole child is the focus at Kinder Ring. We work hard to balance the programming so that each child can experience success in some aspects of the camp program. Whether on the playing field, in leadership roles, on the stage, in a studio, or living together in a group, Kinder Ring provides your child with a balance achieved through a mix of structured and flexible activity schedules; individual and team experiences; single gender and coeducational activities; and an emphasis on individual growth and spirited teamwork.

Our Staff

In everything we do at Camp Kinder Ring, your child’s safety and protection are our primary concerns. Our mature adult staff includes seasoned professionals, many of whom have been with us since they were campers themselves. Our senior staff leaders have well over 140 years of combined experience in the world of camping. Many of our senior staff members are teachers, social workers, and professionals who work with children in the off-season. Our counselors are college students who have a high return rate and have previous experience as well as ongoing training about how to be effective role models and guardians to your children during the summer. We are exposing your children to a variety of adult supervisors and activity specialists from the United Kingdom, Australia, and Israel, amongst other places around the world. We provide a camper to counselor ratio of 3:1. Each camper bunk has 3-4 staff members living with 8-12 campers. Campers are supervised at all times — 24 hours a day / 7 days a week.

ACA Accreditation

ACA Accreditation means that Camp Kinder Ring cares enough to undergo an extremely thorough review of its operations — from staff qualifications and training to emergency management. ACA collaborates with experts from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Red Cross, and other youth-serving agencies to assure that current practices reflect the most up-to-date, research-based standards in camp operation. Camp Kinder Ring and ACA have formed a partnership that promotes summers of growth and fun in an environment committed to safety.
