Why Golden Slipper?
Golden Slipper Camp has been promoting teamwork and the personal growth of our campers since 1948. Our campers have fun and enjoy engaging in the spirit of camp simply by being themselves. The camp program is rooted in Jewish values. Our campers and staff are an inclusive group that creates a supportive and fun community. Our campers grow together as they benefit from all that Golden Slipper has to offer. Golden Slipper fosters lifelong friendships that remain invaluable long after each summer is over.
It’s an atmosphere of fun, adventure, friendship, and inspiration that “lets kids be kids.” For some, it’s their first time being away from home. For others, it’s a rare opportunity to experience nature, or learn new sports and crafts. Whatever their background, each day at Golden Slipper Camp becomes a lasting part of kids’ lives, making them want to return to camp summer after summer!
Golden Slipper Camp enriches the lives of children and young adults from varied backgrounds by providing five essential components:
- Affordable prices with financial assistance scholarships available
- Association (ACA) accredited programming that reflects the Jewish community's commitment to inspiring youth
- A multitude of activities that promote fun, teamwork, and personal growth
- Modern facilities that enhance safety, security, and comfort
- A family-oriented environment that fosters lifelong friendships and builds self esteem

"We have been sending our son to Golden Slipper overnight camp for 4 years now. He looks forward to going every year. He even asks to go to both encampments...I love that they have so many things for the children to do, they never get bored! My son loves this camp so much that he one day wants to become a camp counselor there!" - Chris
"Gregory came home today and he told me he had a fabulous time. Please thank Justin for me, I gave him a hard time and I apologize. I think this was a great learning experience. And more. Thank you for taking the time to help both Gregory and myself through this process. I definitely will consider next Summer 2nd semester." - Emilia K"Ahhh, the nostalgia of seeing the GSC sign burn tonight and knowing I get to hug my daughter tomorrow while she’s full of emotions and an adjustment to returning home. I take none of this for granted. I am so in awe of the efforts you put into the everyday up at 18360. I know it isn’t easy. I know you are tired too, I get it. You’re up at night, planning and counting Olympic votes and waking up ready to handle anything to impact each child in any way that will forever change them, shape them into future respectable adults. Our alumni crew watches with nostalgia, remembering our days smelling sewage and cheering with strep throat! Please thank the counselors for me, for all of us, job extremely well done! Tell them they just made a huge difference in so many lives! Many kids needed the extra love and support from their ‘Aunts and Uncles’ that they will never forget! Thank you to the entire staff for helping my daughter grow, encouraging her to try new things, love her old friends, make new friends, and ultimately learn that slipper spirit is better together. I am so grateful! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Meredith."
"My kids are on cloud 9!!! I'm so grateful for you guys. You are soul savers. It's a big deal for me. I could have never done this without your assistance. It is very rare to find people that actually see the other person. You saw me. You saw my kids. Thank you a million times." - Miri
"Wow! I am so happy Emily was able to attend this session!! The last two hours have been nothing but smiles and happy stories. She definitely wants to attend next year." - Rachael
