Since 2001, the Mindy Ellen Levine Day Camp, affectionately known as Camp Mindy, has offered Charlotte-area children more than just a place to spend the summer. Serving campers from kindergarten through fifth grade, it's a place where kids try new things, make new friends, and gain confidence in a nurturing, inclusive environment.
Camp Mindy is one of many local programs supported by Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte's Annual Campaign. By investing in experiences that build identity and connection from a young age, Federation helps ensure the next generation is grounded in Jewish values and community.
"Being part of Camp Mindy since it opened has shown us what it truly means to build community," said Mark DiDonato, senior director of programming, and Mitch Ormand, director of youth and family. "With Federation's support, we've seen generation after generation of campers grow and thrive. This summer marks 25 years, and we're excited for what's still ahead!"
The impact of Camp Mindy lasts well beyond the school break. Campers carry with them memories, friendships, and a strong sense of belonging—cornerstones of a vibrant Jewish future. Federation is proud to help make that possible, one summer at a time.
