Thanks but  looking for a kosher Jewish camp.[/quote]

Camp Modin in Maine[/quote]

I've looked at it and it looks awesome.  I have the DVD and brochure sitting on my desk.  I may take DD up to visit this summer.  But honestly, it looks more like a country club than summer camp.  I've seen a few if the videos that they've posted for breaking color war and it just seems a bit over the top.  I have the names and numbers if a few people from the area who attend.  I should give them a call to talk about my concerns.  Perhaps they're unfounded.[/quote]

It is not a country club. It is a nice camp on a nice lake. [b]Lots of Solomon Schecter kids from NYC[/b]. Look at Laurel if you want to see what a "country club camp" looks like.[/quote]

This is music to my ears.  Thank you for this information.  Do you have first hand knowledge of the camp?  Did you go there?  Do you send your kids there?  Can you share more about it?[/quote]

We went as a family to see it. Director is very hands on. Lake is nice but that is what you expect for Maine. That is the big difference bet Maine and PA. Shabbat is fully celebrated so no activities on Sat. Our impression is that it was well maintained a good but not large contingent of DC and MD kids which is what we wanted. Ultimately my DC decided they wanted a stronger sports camp. Very important to see the camp. Our impressions may not fit your family or your child. Good luck! Camp is so great for kids.[/quote]

Thank you so much for providing this information.  I really appreciate it.[/quote]

New Jersey Y Camps also runs several camps, including Na-jee-wah and Cedar Lake, which are jewish unaffiliated and kosher. Very well run camps with tons of activities; very down to earth. They also have a special needs camp embedded within the mainstream camp which is beneficial to both the special needs and mainstream campers. Although it's run by NJ "Y", not everyone is from NY and NJ.  Good luck![/quote]
