ALL Children Belong at Camp KEFF
For more than fifty years, the PJCC’s Camp KEFF has welcomed all children to take part in our camp and its activities because we firmly believe that a diverse and strong community of friends will make the world a better place. We invite every child to participate in building this shared community, centered in important human values experienced through a fun Jewish lens.
Fostering Understanding, Responsibility, and Belonging
Our philosophy of belonging is founded on centuries-old Jewish wisdom, including the principle of Hachnasat Or’chim (Welcoming All)—guiding us to create an environment where every camper feels safe and celebrated in being themselves. By treating everyone with empathy, understanding, and respect, we nurture an environment where campers can grow, evolve, and be their absolute best and authentic selves. We understand that a diverse community of friends fosters understanding, a sense of responsibility to one another, and helps to end bias in all its forms.
Our approach also rests on a Jewish principle that is primary to the Camp Keff experience: Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World). Tikkun Olam is our charge to serve as peace makers for a world that needs all people to demonstrate empathy, patience, and kindness. At Camp KEFF, we understand that Tikkun Olam thrives in community. We support each other knowing that when any one of us overcomes, grows, and achieves, our whole community is strengthened. No one need worry about not fitting in at Camp KEFF, we make ample space for everyone—exactly as we are.
