Tech-Free Summer

Children deserve tech-free spaces where they interact with their peers face to face rather than through a screen or via social media.

I have two children who both attended Kamp Kohut...it was the best experience of their life. They have made lifelong friends who live all over the United States and a few foreign countries as well. Kamp was an opportunity for our Houston, Texas kids to escape the heat and be in a totally different environment from our local camps where they could have attended with school friends. They both blossomed at camp and I truly believe that this particular camp offers a very wholesome, down to earth, self confidence building experience. Any child would be very lucky to attend Kamp Kohut with its amazing staff and excellent programming.

We can't say enough good things about Kamp Kohut. My children have been attending the Kamp for years - they count down the days until they can return each summer. They have made great friends and have learned so much for the fantastic camp counselors and directors. It a warm and welcoming environment where the kids not only enjoy traditional summer activities but also grow as challenge themselves. My kids couldn't imagine summer without Kamp Kohut.
