The Chai Society is Camp Kalsman's
Giving Society.
URJ Camp Kalsman has spent 20 years building joyful, resilient Jewish identity in thousands of children and young adults. Jewish camp is one of the most powerful investments we can make in the next generation - creating joyful, resilient, proud Jewish leaders.
The URJ Camp Kalsman Chai Society is a growing group of our most generous donors who give $1,800+ annually to Camp Kalsman's 20th Anniversary Comprehensive Campaign.
As part of the Chai Society, members enjoy meaningful recognition and authentic access to camp leadership and community throughout the year and, as part of Kalsman’s 20th Year celebrations, will receive additional benefits as we mark this milestone together.
