The Burgundy Center for Wildlife Studies has a great 2-week nature-focused camp. It is associated with the Burgundy school but you don't need to be a student there. DD went there from age 9 until she aged out and then worked as staff for a few summers. It was a really special place for her.

Ramah in MA.

Emma Kauffman Camp (EKC) in West Virginia which is affiliated with the Pittsburgh JCC is a Jewish camp focused on inclusivity and has 1-3 week sessions for your daughter's age group

You need to ask your local friends. Just go where the other Jewish kids from your school/activity/community go.

Not OP but interested in hearing more about Wa Klo. Looking into that and Wohelo for my daughter in a couple of years. Has she been before? What do you like about it?

She hasn't been before, but she did two weeks at a different camp last summer and wants to go for a bit longer this time. I looked into wohelo but I think they are mostly a 7 week camp, with perhaps the first year offering a shorter session. I don't see a 7 week camp ever being ideal for us so I mostly ruled those out. Wa-klo appealed for many reasons but they were also very proactive about inclusivity on their website, which I liked. Beyond just the pro forma language. We'll see!

We need a Jewish camp

Pocono Springs does one five-week session. My DS spent several wonderful summers there:

Camp Tockwogh

I suggest you try a two week session at a camp that does not have 1 week sessions. 1 week is so short to really make friends and settle in. Transition days are hard if there are other kids coming/going when you are not

Camp Louise sister camp to Camp Airy. I have several Jewish friends who attended as children and loved it.

Farm and Wilderness in Vermont sounds like a good fit.

We're sending our non athletic, artsy and nature loving girl to wak-lo in New Hampshire for a month.

Camp Letts is near DC and does one week sessions.

We spend half the summer in New England and half in DC, so we're looking for an overnight camp in either of those places. A few requirements:

-sessions that are 1-4 weeks long. Because of other commitments, we can't send our kid to an 8 week summer camp. If almost all kids eventually go for 8 weeks, it's not the right match for us.
-we are Jewish and open to reform Jewish camps, but happy with secular too.
-our daughter is 9, and she's very into nature and animals. She's not a star athlete and she's not into fashion/tween pop culture. She'll do well in a camp focused on inclusivity, friendships, games/traditions, etc.

As a kid, I went to an overnight camp and, while it was great for developing independence, it was also filled with very wealthy mean girls. I'm hoping to avoid that vibe.

All suggestions are welcome!
