About
Established in 1922, Halfmoon was originally a boys camp. Years later both boys and girls were welcome to attend and the camp began introducing activities like swimming, outdoor adventure, and tennis.
Who we are
The Kimama Group, with over 20 years of experience, has been curating programming for kids and teens around the world. With our home base on the sunny shores of Israel, Kimama draws from traditional American summer camp values fused with the fresh outlook of Israeli culture and character.
New Leadership - New Legacy
In 2022, just in time for the camp’s 100th anniversary, the Kimama Group purchased Halfmoon and pledged to honor it’s legacy by maintaining many of its traditions.
Inspiring - Both Day And Night
Camp Kimama Halfmoon continues to inspire children to be the best they can be by providing immersive experiences for both day and overnight campers.
World Travelers
As an inclusive community, we welcome campers and staff from around the world.
Cultivating Connections
Every single person is seen and cheered on with individual attention cultivating a strong sense of importance, connection, and belonging.
Our philosophy & values
Our beliefs lie first and foremost in the power of summer camp and giving kids what we know to be the most important experience of their lives. At Halfmoon we see being a part of children’s lives as an honor, and believe that we are not just an integral part of raising our campers, but in building their foundation and providing the tools to be tomorrow's leaders.
Experience Reimagined
Combining the old with the new, Halfmoon molds it's programming and activities into what campers truly want.
All Are Welcome
While Halfmoon’s traditions are based in Israeli culture and Judaism, our camps are open to people of all faiths, cultures, and orientations.
Our Staff
Our staff are inherently the core of what makes Halfmoon so special. College age or older, certified and accredited in their respective areas of expertise, and coming from every edge of the globe! Many of Halfmoon’s counselors were once upon a time campers, instilling the roots of family and tradition in every waking (or sleeping) moment! Halfmoon maintains a camper to staff ratio of 5 to 1.
Make new friends and amazing memories.
