Bonim Travel Program
The Bonim Leadership and Travel Program is a recreational, educational and cultural experience, building character and social skills along with a strong Jewish identity. Camp Laurelwood’s popular Bonim program combines community service, counselor training and leadership skills for 15-16 year olds within a Jewish summer camp experience.
Day Camp
Laurelwood Day camp, from 9 AM to 4 PM, is offered to shoreline residents with children entering grades kindergarten through third grade. Parents provide their own transportation. Entering 2nd and 3rd graders will have the opportunity to try our overnight camp during our Taste of Laurelwood weekends.
Our youngest campers enjoy all of Laurelwood’s facilities and programs throughout our 140 acre campus. They will learn new skills at swimming lessons and have fun at free swim in one of our two pools. Day campers take part in boating, low ropes elements, tennis, soccer, volleyball and softball instruction. The playscape is a popular activity, and they also participate in drama, nature, crafts, music, Israeli culture and special day events.
Day Camper to staff ratio is 1:5 with boys and girls grouped together by ages and gender. Campers enjoy a healthy kosher lunch each day and experience a “Day Camp Shabbat” with homemade challah each Friday. Laurelwood Day Camp is licensed by the State of Connecticut and the American Camping Association.
