This summer marks an important milestone for Camp Kinderland, in which we celebrate our 50th summer in our Tolland, Massachusetts home! To honor this anniversary, we are excited to debut a short film featuring a conversation with Alice, Billy, and Judee, woven together with archival footage.

The film offers a beautiful look back at some of the people, memories, challenges, and values that have shaped Camp over the last 50 years, and at the home we have built together across generations.

The annual Camp Kinderland newsletter is out today, and we have a lot o news to share with you!

This spring marks Ira’s yahrzeit — the one-year anniversary of his passing. That’s why we’re launching a special effort to honor Ira’s legacy at Camp Kinderland: The Ira Fund for Camp: If We Had a Hammer.

The Kinder-thon is here, and Camp Kinderland needs YOU! We are committed to making camp accessible to every child, regardless of financial hardship. Last summer, we gave over $100,000 in camper scholarships. But we can’t do it without your support. Help us keep the magic alive by supporting our annual Kinder-thon for Camper Scholarships, today.

To the Kinderland Community/ Mishpokhe,

When Ira died, we wanted to find a lasting way to remember and celebrate what he gave to all who knew him. So we decided to create a journal, Celebrating Ira/Bazingn Ira, filling it with pictures, with memories and testimonials and with anything else that conjured Ira's spirit.
