Ever wondered what it’s like behind the scenes at Camp Coleman? As Chair of the Camp Committee, I had the honor of being a “fly on the wall” — witnessing the passion, care, and magic that make this place feel like home. – Robin Eisenberg

Final night s’mores + our siyyum song = the sweetest sendoff for TOC 3.

Bonim saddled up for Hoedown Throwdown with their Chalutzim buddies, line danced through the week, and found joy in new friendships—even during stormy weather!

Chalutzim took on a candy “Chopped” challenge, shared a heartfelt Shabbat circle, and made the most of a rainy Saturday with some solid bunk bonding.

From late-night unpacking to dish duty and pep talks on the sidelines, our campers and staff brought Camp Coleman’s values to life this week. Chesed. Kehillah. Kavod. Shalom.

There’s something undeniably magical about the first Shabbat of a session. That moment when the whole camp, dressed in white, walks together feels like stepping into sacred time. Whether it’s your first summer or your fifth, you can feel it—the shift from busy camp...

Kesher campers leaned into connection this week — bonding under the stars, dancing through weather shifts, and launching creative projects that are already bursting with potential.

Our staff are the heart of Coleman, and caring for them is just as important as the work they do. From nightly staff-only programs to day trips and surprise treats (yes, including Waffle House runs and sushi night!), we make sure they have space to recharge, connect, and feel appreciated. Because when our staff feel supported, they can keep creating the Coleman magic we all love.

The Nachshonim brought the creativity this week with silly Shark Tank pitches, original values-based rap battles, and even choreographed counselor hugs. When a surprise rainstorm rolled in, they made the most of their time indoors with games, laughter, and connection.

At Camp Coleman, summer storms don’t stop the fun—they just shift it under cover. From back-pocket games to spontaneous song sessions, our staff are always ready to turn a rainy day into something magical.
