Interested in learning more about about Camp Kaleidoscope? New families can meet our team on Sunday, December 11 from 10:30am-12:30pm.

After the Meet & Greet, feel free to enjoy our Chanukah Festival & Winter Market. There will be live music from Josh & the Jamtones, a winter marketplace supporting local artisan businesses so you can get some holiday shopping done, plus festive games, crafts, STEM projects, and a community candle lighting. We'll have Chanukah treats, hot beverages, and more.

At Camp Kaleidoscope, campers express themselves, build new skills and gain lifelong self-confidence!

The Camp Kaleidoscope day is about having fun! Campers explore the arts, science and sports, and spend time outdoors all while making lifelong friends in a warm and nurturing Jewish community.
