Programs

The Henry Kaufmann Campgrounds is more than just land. We also provide valuable programs for our constituent camps. We run the aquatics program at two of the camps, hiring the aquatics directors, swim instructors and lifeguards, and overseeing the scheduling so that each and every camper has the opportunity to swim every day. We also offer unique programs at each campus that enhance the camp experience and emphasize HKC’s belief in the power of Jewish day camping to enhance Jewish identity for youngsters. Lenny Krayzelburg Swim Academy At the Flora Haas camp site on Staten Island we have been working with the Lenny Krayzelburg Swim Academy on strengthening our aquatics program.
Petting Zoo At the Mildred Goetz camp site in Pearl River we offer a summer long petting zoo and give our campers the opportunity to learn about other countries through our Camp America international staffing program.
Teva Learning Center At the Alice N. Proskauer camp site on Long Island we have been working with the Teva Learning Center to present environmental education with a Jewish perspective since 2008.
Jewish Greening Fellow The Mildred Goetz Camp hosts a Greening Fellow who is working at reducing the environmental impact of the grounds and all the camps at the site.
Israel Village At the Alice N. Proskauer Camp, camp programs are enhanced by Israeli representatives who spend the summer at camp in the “Israel Village” teaching campers about Israel and Israeli life.
