Character at Camp

The Character at Camp Initiative, funded by the John Templeton Foundation, combines research and programming to evaluate and elevate character development practices at North American Jewish Summer Camps. The initiative’s objective is to understand and share how Jewish camps develop exceptional human beings with high levels of character and prepare them to go into the world and make it a better place.
