A CAMP NEAR THE OCEAN
This summer, thousands of children, tweens and teens will pack a surplus of shorts, sweats, swimsuits, and bug spray into duffle bags and suitcases, kiss their parents good-bye, and cram onto buses bound for camp retreats located deep in the interior of Canada’s timber-lined north. Ah, there’s nothing like overnight summer camp: good friends, cabin antics, roaring camp fires, nature hikes, and canoeing. The only thing missing is ocean excursions to the coastal sea caves, Peggy’s Cove, and of course a little fishing in the Atlantic!
Located on Canada’s historic eastern seacoast, in the picturesque county of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia (home to the famous Bluenose II), is a summer camp that defies the traditional cold water lake experience offered by conventional overnight camps all across the country. Campers and parents, welcome to Camp Kadimah: a camp for Jewish children where the natural beauty of Canada’s eastern coastline and deeply rooted Maritime culture make it a unique travel experience suitable for the entire family.
Just a short airplane ride away for many of its patrons, Camp Kadimah is the perfect summer destination for campers eager to spread their wings, grow their independence and build life skills that will serve them well into their adult years. After all, it takes real chutzpah to board an airplane and fly thousands of miles away from home to go to camp. (But don’t worry mom and dad. Our flight from Toronto is chaperoned). On the flip side, Camp Kadimah provides an ideal opportunity for families visiting their campers to discover the beauty that is Nova Scotia.
Boasting over 7,600 km of coastline, more than 100 accessible beaches, untouched bays, surfing spots, and a long history as “the Gateway to Canada,” Nova Scotia is Canada’s ultimate family vacation destination. For, in the time that it takes to drive along the 400 series of highways, in traffic, to visit campers on Visitors’ Day, you could be breathing in the clean Nova Scotia ocean air while enjoying countless camp stories of visits to see the world’s highest tides at The Bay of Fundy; counting the rotations of light in the lighthouse at Peggy’s Cove; and how ocean crustaceans are really ugly but interesting looking creatures. Priceless!
This summer, create a lifetime of family memories with a trip to Nova Scotia’s Camp Kadimah.
