Inclusivity

OPEN TO EVERYONE

•  Camp Ruach is open to all children and families and is dedicated to creating an environment that is open, understanding, and accepting and where bias and prejudice is not be tolerated.
• We celebrate and champion our differences and what makes each of us unique and special.
• We encourage individuals of all faiths, cultures, genders, religions, financial status, and background to be a part of our camp family making Camp Ruach, your home for the summer.
• Camp Ruach is a place where each child, staff member and any person who walks onto our campsite should feel safe and have the opportunity to become the best versions of themselves and freely enjoy all that our program has to offer.
• We strive to always provide a supportive environment that is welcoming of all.

We are committed to our Jewish heritage, identity, and values and are also very proud to be a non-sectarian and diverse center – open to everyone.

ACHIEVING INCLUSIVITY

To meet these needs, our leadership and members of our staff work with various organizations and professionals to receive training on how to further develop strategies aimed at establishing increasing sensitivity towards people in all segments of the community that may be represented at Camp Ruach.

In addition, we continue to focus on areas of improvement that further our success in creating a more inclusive camp program and facility.

We envision a future where the ethos of justice, caring and inclusion, central to the Jewish tradition, is seen and felt by all. All of our groups are mixed gender to create a fully inclusive and welcoming space for all campers and staff.
