Camp Kadimah

About Camp Kadimah

Camp Kadimah has been welcoming campers and staff in the beautiful Maritimes region of Canada since 1943. For ages 8-16 Camp Kadimah promotes an environment of fun, knowledge, and team building. Their Zionist based camp is considered a second home to proud and passionate alumni who reside all over the world. Camp Kadimah creates incredible friendships that strengthen with time. Ask any of their campers and staff (98% of staff were Kadimah campers themselves!) and they will tell you, over and over, it is the place they dream about all year! For decades, Kadimah’s CIT program has provided exceptional opportunities for Grade 10 graduates to continue their camp career while learning valuable skills related to camper care, programming and activity leadership.
