Camp Kol Torah

From what I hear it is very yeshivish. I believe Peekskill Yeshiva goes there.

I don’t know much, but I hear that the son of the guy who runs it is brilliant, worldly, highly educated, and incredibly good looking.

Camp Kol Torah usually gets a lot of Lakewood boys. They are pretty Yeshivish, and the Head Staff are true B’nai Torah and professional Mechanchim.

They promote themselves as a learning camp. A lot of emphasis is placed on the leaning there. However, in practice, it is not the same as it used to be.

They hire Rabeim for the learning, as apposed to counselors like some other camps. But most of them are not professional experienced Rabeim, like you might have in a New York area learning camp. They are more like “learning on the job” Rabbeim.

Night Seder is not too serious. The morning learning is O.K.. Those who want to learn can, in most shiurim. I do not think they learn as many hours as some learning camps. And the learning is not as intense or serious as it used to be.

The Mesivta program there is better. It is run by real Mechanchim and B’nei Torah. Most years, they get a good group of Bochurim, but not always.
