Camp Hess Kramer

Camp Hess Kramer creates a Jewish experience our campers do not receive anywhere else. This all-encompassing Jewish living environment consists of Israel hour and evening programs, Limud (our daily hour of interactive learning), T'filah, conversations and questions, and of course Shabbat!
 
Shabbat is one of the most exciting parts of the week. Friday night begins the Shabbat experience through T'filah, a special dinner meal, an energy-filled song session, and then the entire camp in one place participating in Israeli dancing. The rest of Shabbat captures the essence of the day with services, reading from the Torah, and relaxing cabin time. All week long, campers and staff alike eagerly anticipate Shabbat, not only because it is the day of rest, but also because it is the day separate and distinct from the rest of the week—a day filled with ruach, friendship, time, and space.
