The 2008 Program

KlezKamp begins with arrival and check-in beginning at 2 p.m. on Sunday, December 21. Those wanting or needing to arrive earlier may make arrangements directly with the Hudson Valley Resort. At 4 p.m., there will be meetings for those campers given a work-study position, followed by a very important meeting for the parents of children in the KlezKids program at 5:30 p.m.

In addition to our four class periods every day, most afternoons include ÒforshpayzÓ presentations before dinner. Dance Party Unplugged takes place after dinner and before the evening activity to allow participants to enjoy dancing to acoustic live music without having to stay up till the wee hours. Then follows an evening program designed to be of interest to the entire community and more dancing to live music. There will also be special childrenÕs evening activities at the same time as the main evening activity.

Classes begin on Monday and culminate in the Student Concert on Thursday night. There are no classes on Friday, and the last dining room meal provided is lunch on that day; a carry-out option for lunch will be available. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE BUS TO MANHATTAN WILL BE LEAVING BEFORE LUNCH THIS YEAR, so passengers will need to take advantage of the carry-out lunch option.

Hotel facilities, including the health spa and indoor swimming pool, are open to all KlezKampers during regular operating hours at no extra charge. (Certain spa amenities are available at an extra charge.)
