Jewish Life

The Camp program is rooted in Jewish values.  We provide kosher-style meals and Shabbat dinner. Also, we offer a variety of Jewish activities. 

On a daily basis, we experience and promote traditional Jewish principles including respect (kavod), friendship (chaverim), service (avodah) and family (mishpacha).  We promote these values as an inclusive and welcoming community.

Cabins & Villages

The Golden Slipper Camp family is one big community, where we share most meals and a variety of activities together. Within this community we have six villages, in which our campers live and often participate in separate activities.

Our youngest campers, ages 7 to about 12, live in Vogelson Village (boys) and Strauss Village (girls). Our campers from approximately ages 12 to 13  live in Kadden Village (boys) and Friends Village (girls). Our oldest campers, approximately ages from 13 to 15 live in Council Boys Village and Council Girls Village.

Financial Assistance 

At Golden Slipper Camp, we want all children who wish to attend our Camp to be able to do so, regardless of their financial background. To that end, we offer scholarships on an individual basis. Our scholarship process is confidential and respectful, and we would be glad to assist you along the way.  
 
If you are interested in a scholarship, please contact our Director of Camper Enrollment, Kristin Grapes at [email protected] or 610-660-0520, extension 102.
 
We know that it is important to you to provide your child with the best summer camping experience. It is important to us too, which is why we encourage you to apply for a scholarship.

Health & Safety

While your child is at Golden Slipper Camp, you can be assured that his or her safety is our first priority. We take every precaution to ensure that the well-being of your child is paramount in every activity.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE PRACTICES WE FOLLOW:
As an accredited camp through the American Camp Association (ACA), Golden Slipper Camp adheres to and often exceeds, ACA safety guidelines.
We maintain a ratio of five campers to every counselor or staff member to create optimum conditions for both their physical and emotional safety.
Each staff member is required to participate in a comprehensive training program to be prepared in case of an emergency, and more importantly, how to prevent an emergency.

We’ve established accident and emergency procedures that we practice and put into place should the need arise.
Our health care facilities are well equipped and staffed with an expert medical team available to your child at all times. We employ several full-time nurses, who are on staff at Golden Slipper Camp. We call upon the services of a physician for minor injuries or illness, and in the unlikely event of a more serious condition, we are less than 10 miles from a hospital.
