Camp Kingswood

Camp Kingswood is one-of-a-kind. We take our commitment to personal growth as seriously as we take our commitment to awe-inspiring excitement and fun, and our core values of courage, community, responsibility and spirit are a part of everything we do. When you join us for your first summer whether you’re 7 or 17, your family becomes part of our Camp Kingswood family for life.

Campers have called Camp Kingswood home for over 110 years for good reason. We are a camp that feels more like a family than a summer program. With no more than 250 campers at one time, it’s not unusual to see 4th graders and 8th graders playing 9-square together after dinner, or for counselors of our oldest Chalutzim campers to know all the younger Olim campers by name. This creates an environment where campers feel seen and connected – every day, all session long. This is when campers can really thrive! When kids feel safe, seen, and connected they’re more willing to put themselves out there – whether it’s to meet a new friend or to try a new activity.

We love that our families come from across the globe and that they are down-to-earth and fun, and our families love that we share those values at camp. We believe parents are our partners, and we take that responsibility seriously. When your child joins us at camp, we warmly welcome your whole family into the Kingswood family.

Our mission at Kingswood is to create a fun, friendly, and inclusive environment that allows campers to grow and explore in their own way, at their own pace. We believe camp is a place where campers can live the values of tikkun olam (repairing the world) and leave camp knowing they’re a part of a larger world that they have the power to impact and change. Kingswood is a place where kids can discover positive and meaningful connections to their Jewish heritage and traditions, and leave camp with a desire to find other meaningful connections to Jewish life. We are a camp committed to excellence – in our staff, our program, our facility, our communication – and especially our food!

Working at Camp Kingswood is so much more than a summer job, and it gives you so much more than any office internship! It’s the ultimate experience full of adventure, personal and professional growth, and an opportunity to grow as a leader as a role model for children. All of this in an amazing facility in the lake region of Maine at the base of the White Mountains. Working at camp sets you up with the skills and tools you need for the rest of your life.
