I would like to send my fifth grader to camp. She’s begging to go. I’d prefer it to be chassidish or semi chassidish. Anyone know of any?

Where do you live & what school is she from??
Majority of camps start accepting sleepaway campers from 7th grade. Some maybe from 6th.

The Chassidish camps that I want to had sleepaway starting from 4th - 5th, with some having younger kids in a mixed age bunk.
Have things changed since I was a camper?

OP, I'm not totally familiar with the camps today, and these may be totally outdated, but from what I remember, there's Chayei Sura, Tomer Devorah, Gila, Naaleh. Vien has a camp now, I don't know the name. Machaneinu has a new name. Then there are the ones affiliated with Chassidusen, like Pupa Belz Viznitz Satmar etc.

Yes Maya, times have changed! My mom went to sleep away camp on 2nd grade!!

Try camp Tubby. Some girls from bobov and other chassidish schools go there. They start from 4th grade.
I think Chaya sura starts from a young grade too. You can call other camps mentioned above and find out. Klausenburg used to start from grade 4, find out if they still do. Good luck!

Yes. I went to camp starting from third grade but many camps got rid of the younger bunks and now start from 6th or 7th grade.

Camp Tubby is a Bais Yaakov camp, you won't find chassidish girls there.
Baiseinu (Machaneinu) might be a good fit.

Doesn't Machaneinu start from seventh grade?

I know at least 3 Chassidish girls going to camp Tubby.
Baiseinu does not take 5th grade girls.

Plenty of chassidish kids in Tubby.
