Camp Kinder Ring began in 1927, and is owned and operated by The Workmen’s Circle/Arbeter Ring. The Workmen’s Circle/Arbeter Ring was founded in 1900 by Jewish immigrants determined to establish a society to provide mutual assistance and to promote Jewish community, Yiddish culture and social justice. Today The Workmen’s Circle/Arbeter Ring is an activist-based national organization which is the prominent voice for continuation of a secular Jewish heritage and is committed to advocacy for social and economic justice. This mission supports the operation of a safe, fun summer camp in a nurturing Jewish community.
