The way the program is balanced helped my daughter to flourish and enjoy her summer vacation with many other teenage girls from similar and different backgrounds. We liked that the camp wasn't strictly regimented around religion, and yet it still encompassed all that an observant camper would seek out. My daughter made true friends that she remains in touch with, and as a parent I felt that she was in wonderful hands. Any question I had, was always answered with a friendly voice or a warm email, needless to say we are big fans and highly recommend the UnCamp." — Daphne Bortunk

"My daughter had a very positive experience at the UnCamp at age 16. She left the UnCamp with a deeper appreciation of her yiddishkeit from Rabbi Friedman's open way of responding to questions. She also had the chance to meet girls who were ba'al teshuvahs, and who were very inspiring in what mitzvos they were taking on in the face of personal adversity. It was a life-changing experience, and she's now 23, finished a degree at a Jewish girls' college, and looking for her bashert."
Ceramics. Acrylics. Collage. Silk-dying. Watercolor. Multi-media. Spoken word poetry. We do all that and more. Our art teacher, Aarah, has a philosophy about this. Art helps us make choices and identify personal limitations. When to take control, when to let go, and how to step back to behold the resulting beauty. Take the time to try something new and see what happens. The studio is open every night and it's where a lot of the UnCamp magic happens.
