This is our kiddo’s fifth year at Eden Village Camp. It is the place where he can let out a sigh of relief and relax into being himself. We want to thank the camp and the camp staff for supporting Owen this year during the hospice care and death of his grandfather. In the car ride home, he talked about how supported he felt by Counselors and Specialists, the Lev Squad, Rabbi Pesach, Admin, Nurses, and fellow campers, and we are very grateful.

Words can't fully capture the magic of Eden Village. Every time I return home, I immediately start counting down the days until I can go back and reunite with all my friends. 💟☮️love it so much

12 years go our oldest child, Maddie, started attending Eden Village and I knew immediately that it was the camp for our family. She thrived at camp and then grew into a young adult who thrived working at camp, as well. It is so fulfilling to now see our youngest child, Sara, thriving at camp, coming home with a bursting heart for the experiences she shared with her friends there. It is priceless to hear these two sisters, 6 years apart in age, talk for hours about Eden Village together. What a special place!

My daughter has been to camp before and had a wonderful time, but Eden Village was different in the most intentional and thoughtful ways. From the no-body-talk policy to the way campers are encouraged to lead with kindness, everything is designed to help kids focus on what really matters: their values, their interests, and who they are as people. For my daughter, who usually feels a bit of social anxiety even with friends, this made all the difference. She felt comfortable making friends, being herself, and taking social risks, without ever feeling awkward or out of place.

My child LOVES EVC. It's her favorite place. She tells me that the counselors are responsible and kind. They are willing to have conversations with campers and play card games, which she likes. She loves the food, especially the tomato soup. In a letter home she wrote, "Camp is perfect." It's a wonderful Jewish camp full of joy and song. The nurses are also very helpful and kind, too.
