Where do great childhood memories come from? They come from doing something that's fun, but challenging. Something where you meet people who leave a lasting impression on you. That's what the New Jersey Kinus is all about.
Every year, hundreds of kids and their parents come to the New Jersey Kinus. They come from all over the Northeast and beyond. They come here to learn about camping, the beauty of the outdoors, and the dozens of fun sessions that we offered for the past 39 years. Last year, we gave sessions on computers, astronomy, folklore, and photography to name just a few. We led the kids on hikes up mountains and over hills. We taught them how to shoot a bow and arrow. And without the kids realizing it, we taught them respect and good citizenship.
And their parents? They enjoyed the camaraderie of the other adults who wanted to see their kids have fun and grow. They enjoyed the sessions of Jewish learning that we provided on Shabbat. They also enjoyed participating in the camping and doing the same sessions their kids enjoyed.
And, you don't have to know your woodsy lore. That's our job. We're here to make your Kinus experience pleasant. We provide kosher meals and Orthodox and Egalitarian services throughout the entire Kinus. Enjoy walking through the woods, staying up late to look at the stars through a telescope, or simply take in the peaceful atmosphere for a nice Shabbat nap.
Register now, and come May, we'll see you there.

Kinus Applications |
|
|
|
Here are the Kinus applications! You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader (a free application) which is available for Windows, Linux and the Mac in order to read these forms.
You need to fill out one application for each and every participant. There are separate forms for both the Cub Scout and Boy Scout kinus. If you are attending both kinusim, you need to fill out both forms.
The second part of each application is the required medical form. Again, fill this out for each participant.

Need Chesed Hours? |
|
|
 To produce a Kinus takes a lot of work and effort. Producing two Kinusim one after another is even harder. And, the entire Kinus is run by volunteer staff. If you need Chesed Hours for your High School or Yeshiva, please consider helping us out at the Kinus. We need volunteers both before, during, and after both Kinusim. We'll be more than happy to fill out your Chesed Hours form, or give you whatever documentation you need to fulfill your Chesed hours if you volunteer to help us. Contact our Volunteer Coordinator at
