The 2011 Program
KlezKamp begins with arrival and check-in beginning at 2 p.m.
on Sunday, December 25. Those who need to arrive earlier may make arrangements directly with the Hudson Valley Resort
(www.hudsonvalleyresort.com; phone: 845-626-8888). At 4:30 p.m., there will be meetings for those given a Work-Study position, followed by a very important meeting for the parents of children in the KlezKids program at 5:30 p.m.
In addition to four class periods every day, most afternoons include "forshpayz" presentations before dinner. Dance Party Unplugged takes place after dinner and before the evening activity to allow participants to enjoy dancing to acoustic live music without having to stay up till the wee hours. Then follows an evening program designed to be of interest to the entire community and more dancing to live music. There will also be special childrens evening activities at the same time as the main evening activity. Many of the evening programs are open to the public for a small fee.
Classes begin on Monday and culminate in the Student Concert on Thursday night. There are no classes on Friday, and the last dining room meal provided is lunch on that day; a carry-out option for lunch will be available.
Hotel facilities, including the health spa and indoor swimming pool, are open to all KlezKampers during regular operating hours at no extra charge. (Certain spa amenities are available at an extra charge.)
