DOES TAMAKWA HAVE ANY RELIGIOUS ORIENTATION?
Most of the campers and staff are Jewish, but many are not. Tamakwa is not a religious camp and has no affiliation with any synagogue, church, or agency. We are one big happy family where everyone feels perfectly at home. Traditionally, we say grace at meals and have a liberal Friday night Sabbath observance. Friday night services, as we call them, are of a creative non-worship nature… usually reflecting on a particular theme such as friendship, nature, cooperation, etc. It’s our “time-out” from the busy week to have a quiet evening. The nicest part about these contemplative services is the camp family assembling together on our “Slope” overlooking the spectacular view of our South Tea Lake.
