Do you get anxious when you think about the summer? Does your Bar Mitzvah Boy stress about getting into the camp of his choice with his friends? Is your Beis Medrash Bochur pressured because he wasn’t accepted to be a counselor, or does he prefer to spend his summer learning in a yeshiva environment?
Figuring out summer plans for your teenage bochur was never supposed to be this hard. Oholei Torah is expanding to remove this stress off our talmidim and parents.
With Hashem’s help and the Rebbe’s berachos, Oholei Torah has made a major investment in ending this problem for parents and bochurim from 8th grade through Beis Medrash with the purchase of a massive new Pennsylvania campground. Equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, these grounds will serve as the new expanded home for Yeshivas Kayitz Kingston.
YKK’s excellent 8th grade through Mesivta summer program, now with capacity for even more bochurim, will be adding a brand-new yeshiva-style summer learning program for Beis Medrash bochurim led by Rabbi Fishel Oster that will be open to all.
With a capacity of up to 600, more bochurim than ever before will have the opportunity to enjoy a summer experience that fits with their goals.
Imagine if every bochur could seamlessly continue his learning through the summer. Imagine if each talmid could grow educationally, socially and emotionally in a conducive environment. Imagine if we had a space that is expansive in both its physical boundaries and its spiritual potential.
Our new grounds will provide a robust ruchniyusdike atmosphere, replete with spacious Botei Midrashim, serene classrooms, fully stocked library, and everything needed for maximal Chinuch in an optimal summer environment.
While this is a large investment on the Yeshiva’s part, it is essential to our bochurim’s yearlong success. Situated on a magnificent and expansive lakefront, the acreage hosts a wide range of facilities, including housing, bunking, recreational centers, sports fields, swimming pools, and everything needed for a bochur to flourish in both neshama and guf.
YKK registration opens 8pm, Sunday, 11 Shevat at www.ykkingston.com, and is open to all 8th-grade through Beis Medrash bochurim from the Crown Heights and global Chabad communities.
The three programs, 8th Grade, Mesivta and Bais Medrash, will thrive under the stewardship of Oholei Torah Hanhala.
The Rebbe teaches that we must constantly grow, constantly expand, constantly serve Hashem with a bren and breitkeit. This summer, we will increase and transform the grounds of Pennsylvania into a makom Torah, with gorgeous Batei Midrashim, davening and learning spaces. Together with the physical activities such as hockey, basketball, baseball, tennis, soccer, football, volleyball, and the lakefront activities, we will see the full potential of our next generation!
We look forward to a summer of complete redemption, united with our Rebbe and the elevation of our new campgrounds to Eretz Yisroel with the coming of Moshiach!

incredible BH!!
Credit goes to Rabbi Sholom Goldstein for opening this camp. Rabbi Goldstein has moved on to other things but let’s not forget where it all started.
We as alumni of OT. We must give a big yasher koach to the board of the Yeshivah rhat worked tiredless to achieve this mile stone.
Thank you Zalman Chein
sholom Ber Rabkin
Shmulik Brook
And the rest of the board!!!!
כל הכבוד!!!
What about the man himself YOSSI LANGZAM!!!!
The guy that really gets things done!!
This is a game changer! I would say this is the largest new undertaking to service the educational needs of our children in decades.
This means that there will be alternatives available for bochurim who don’t want to be staff in camps. It also means that there will no longer be bochurim left behind because they did not have connections.
Thank you Rabbi Langsam and the Oholei Torah Board!
When will they open up a camp for elementary?
Since the new board and more recently the new CEO Yossi Langsam have taken over, OT has been truly the leading mossad in lubavitch
