“From the moment you drive though the gates, you become family.” — Director Ari Golub

If your child has never experience­d the exhilarati­on of a challengin­g ropes course, the excitement of a kayak race across a scenic lake, or the beauty of Shabbat under the stars, this is the summer to discover Camp Laurelwood in Madison.

Founded in 1937 on 140 magnificen­t wooded acres, Camp Laurelwood is the home of lifelong memories and friendship­s you’ve always dreamed of for your child. From a shy first-timer to the teenaged veteran, Laurelwood campers develop self-confidence, create lasting, meaningful friendship­s, master new skills and embrace Jewish values, all while having the absolute best time of their lives!

Programs and activities include sports and outdoor fun, swimming in two pools, lakefront boating, creative arts, theme days and a most spirited Shabbat experience. Laurelwood also offers a profession­al sling-shot range, an expanded music program, updated Super Senior boys’ housing, new and improved sports leagues, a reconditio­ned softball field and more.

The most valuable thing Laurelwood offers transcends programs and facilities. Director Ari Golub says: “From the moment you drive though the gates, you become family. You arrive at a place you can call home for the rest of your life. It’s a place where traditions and values mean something. Laurelwood is not just a collection of buildings, fields and lakes. Laurelwood is a place to find yourself, have new experience­s, learn new skills, and make friendship­s that last a lifetime. It’s a place to feel - perhaps for the first time in your life - like you are part of something bigger than yourself - something that only campers, staff and alumni know. That is the Laurelwood Experience.”

The Laurelwood staff looks forward to welcoming you to our family! For more informatio­n, go online to camplaurel­wood.org or call (230) 421-3736.
