URJ Camp Kalsman is the place for a summer of fun, friendships of a lifetime, and an unparalleled Jewish experience.
As the premiere Jewish overnight camp in the Pacific Northwest, Camp Kalsman is committed to our six core values: friendship, kehilah kedoshah (sacred community), Reform Jewish identity, chesed (kindness), connection to Israel, and our relationship to teva (nature).
We can’t wait to welcome you home this summer!
