Ally's Jewish Overnight Camp Experience

Hi, my name is Ally and I have been going to Camp Wise for 5 years.

I have made lifelong friends with my cabin mates, fellow villagers, counselors, and really the entire camp.

Cleveland Kids Give Back

Jacob and Charlie have been giving tzedakah (charity) for as long as they can remember. Their mom, Heather, puts a tzedakah box on the table every Shabbat and they happily share their nickels and dimes.
