Golden Slipper Summer Camp has allowed thousands of children to experience firsthand the warmth, traditions, spirit, and exhilarating fun that make it an ideal choice for the summer. The Golden Slipper has been a charity rooted in Jewish tradition since 1922. Campers are a diverse group in culture and faith who live and grow together.
The camp has it all, including basketball, biking, boating, climbing wall, campouts, and crafts. In all, there are over 30 different activities held at Slipper.
Campers sleep in spacious, well-ventilated cabins with plenty of windows and ample room for belongings. Each cabin has full bathroom facilities – sinks, toilets, and showers, with lots of hot water, electricity, and round-the-clock supervision.
Golden Slipper is definitely more than majestic woods and cabins. At the heart of this magical camp is a team of counselors, instructors, and staff dedicated to the enjoyment, fun, health, safety, and development of hundreds of campers each summer.
“This is a spectacular camp. It began almost seventy years ago to provide free camp for three weeks. The bunks are nonsectarian, for children of all races and creeds. They get along in a happy camper atmosphere. Over the years it has changed somewhat. Campers are now permitted to be returnees and if they can afford to pay, they pay in part for their camp experience.
The makeup of the staff and the campers remains mixed. Counselors of many nationalities work at Golden Slipper Camp. The beauty is that everyone gets along. Whatever happens, everyone is happy enjoying camp. Prejudice does not exist here. It is a beautiful thing to see. No one notices differences in color or religion.
The camp is funded and fed and maintained mostly by contributions from members of the Golden Slipper organization.”
The winter phone is 610-660-0520. Golden Slipper holds 2 3.5-week sessions over the summer, or you can send your child for the full 7-week season. Financial assistance is available from several Jewish philanthropies that support the camp.
