Camp Life

A Camp of Villages
Camp Wise is organized by villages - small communities that are the heart of our camp magic. Childrenin each age group are at varying developmental stages, and have different social, emotional, and educational needs. We intentionally group campers age-based villages so counselors can focus on the specific, appropriate needs of each camper.

Villages build a unique identity, ruach (spirit), and sense of pride over the summer. As a village, campers participate in daily electives, sit at village section tables at meals, participate in evening programs, and come up with their own cheers and mascots. Campers share space and time with others their own age, and can develop meaningful relationships with peers outside their cabin.
