“We had the best time! Our daughter was sobbing when it was time to leave, saying, “I’m not leaving Herzl!” The staff was really wonderful and made it such a great experience for everyone.” – Lindsay, Past Family Camper

Fall Family Camp is October 19-22, 2023.  This special fall getaway will introduce your family to the fun and ruach (spirit) of Herzl Camp and explore what Judaism’s timeless traditions and values can offer to your family.  All families interested in building family rituals that strengthen your connection, no matter your current practice or your upbringing are welcome on this family learning journey!

 

This weekend is a user-friendly entry into the world of Judaism.  If your family comes from different faith traditions or if you grew up with little religious practice, Judaism has a lot to offer your family as you navigate the joys and challenges of raising children in today’s world.  We’ll learn and explore together in a fun and welcoming way.

 

We’ll enjoy the glorious fall beauty of our 150 acres on our pristine lake and enjoy camp fun and games. There will be time to try our amazing facilities like our realistic climbing wall and canoe our quiet lake, home to eagles, loons, osprey and more.  The woods of Wisconsin in the fall are astounding!
