About
Camp Kinder Ring is a Jewish camp located in Hopewell Junction, New York on the beautiful Sylvan Lake. Founded in 1927 by The Workmen's Circle/Arbeter Ring, Camp Kinder Ring has many families which have been attending for up to 4 generations. Offering an array of activities, too many to name, CKR provides a lot of fun for its campers while educating them about Jewish traditions and culture. Many campers return for many years, finding it hard to ever leave the place where they have such a great emotional attachment. The greatest example being waterfront head Joel "The Hawk" Hocheiser, who has been working at camp for nearly 50 years and has near god-like status among campers.
