Camp Kinderland
Private
Camp Kinderland is a secular Jewish overnight camp for youth ages 8-16 on Colebrook River Road in Tolland, founded in 1923 with a social-justice mission it calls 'summer camp with a conscience.' Programming weaves themes of equality, peace, community, civil rights, activism, Yiddish culture, and friendship into traditional camp activities. Campers can attend a four-week July session, three-week August session, all seven weeks, or a two-week intro session for the youngest first-timers.

Best camp for learning to be a good human and making lifelong friends.
My son attended a few years ago for 3 weeks. He had a wonderful time! I only wish that I had known about this camp when when my daughter was young. I wish my parents had know about this camp when I was younger. I would have loved to attend a camp where they teach and preach justice!
I started at camp when I was 8 yearsold, 22 years ago. I've been to camp every summer since (first I took vacation time and then I became a teacher). Camp is where I have the space to try new things and develop as a human being. Through every stage of camp- camper, counselor, specialist, or group leader- I get to spend my summer refreshing and renewing myself and readying myself for the next year.
I'm incredibly grateful for the values and community this camp has brought me.
