While your kids are enjoying the camp fun, there will be a lounge area for parents to socialize while they wait.
We’d love for you to bring along a friend who might be interested in experiencing Kenesserie Camp. It’s a great opportunity for them to see what camp is all about, meet some of our staff, and hear firsthand from you why Kenesserie Camp is such a special place.
From 3:30 to 4:00 PM, we’ll also host a Parent Information Session with Dan Richards, our Executive Director. This will be a fantastic opportunity to learn more about our 2025 camp program, ask questions, and hear about exciting updates for the upcoming summer.
We’re so excited to see you there and bring the Kenesserie Camp spirit to life in the middle of winter! Thank you for being such an important part of our community.
