The start of Camp Kaylie this year was nothing short of amazing. As the campers arrived at camp for summer 2023, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation, little did they know that an incredible surprise awaited them. Just a few days into the summer, they were honored to welcome four revered gedolei Yisroel, renowned Jewish leaders; Rav Dovid Cohen, Rav Avrohom Eisen, Rav Reuven Feinstein and the Nikolsburg Rebbe Rav Mordechai Jungreis. Their presence brought an aura of holiness and inspiration that permeated the air, creating an atmosphere charged with spirituality and growth.

The goal of Camp Kaylie has always been to provide an enriching and transformative experience for campers. Staff believe that nurturing campers’ spiritual and moral development is just as important as their physical and intellectual growth. Throughout their visit, the gedolim graciously interacted with the campers, sharing their profound insights and personal stories.

Their humility and warmth created an environment where campers felt comfortable approaching them and receiving brachot.

The start of Camp Kaylie this year will forever be etched in their memories as a time when campers had the privilege of being in the presence of true greatness. The memories of this experience will undoubtedly shape their lives and propel them towards becoming gedolim themselves, each in their own unique way.
