WELCOME TO CAMP KEHILLA!
A pioneer in neurodivergent camping for more than 30 years!
Located at the Henry Kaufmann Campgrounds in Wheatley Heights, Camp Kehilla provides a flexible, accessible, and personalized summer experience for neurodivergent children and young adults ages 5-21. Camp Kehilla is a leader in creating an inclusive environment where individuals of varying abilities engage in traditional camp activities—swimming, arts and crafts, sports, and drama—alongside specialized adaptive programming.
Camp Kehilla cultivates a supportive space where every individual can thrive by fostering independence, building confidence, and encouraging lasting friendships.
