For three weeks each year, Camp Nageela Midwest provides the opportunity for young people to form lasting friendships, experience a number of new and exciting adventures, and explore their Jewish identity. The leaders at Camp Nageela Midwest believe that Jewish life is not something to be taught, but something that campers should live. The camp provides a rich sense of Jewish ethics, values, and customs, thereby ensuring that campers leave deeply proud of their heritage.
The camp recognizes all Jewish affiliations and ensures that programming is open and accepting. Campers can choose from several different learning and prayer sessions, depending on their own backgrounds and level of Jewish knowledge. Camp Nageela also offers free Jewish tutors for children interested in delving deeper into any aspect of Jewish study.
On Shabbat, the camp has a special program that begins with a Kabbalat Shabbat on late Friday afternoon and concludes with a Havdallah ceremony on Saturday night. During Shabbat, campers can engage in a range of special activities and enjoy traditional foods, from freshly baked challah to matza ball soup.
