Camp Kinderwelt, (pronounced kin-der-velt, with Kinderwelt meaning Children's World in Yiddish and German) was a Jewish sleepaway summer camp of the New York chapter of the Farband labor Zionist landsmanschaft (mutual aid association).
Despite its Yiddish/German name, most of the children attending Kinderwelt spoke English, creating a linguistic divide with the Yiddish speaking adults at Unser, aside from the "cultural" divide between the mostly American born children and the mostly European born adults.
An episode of the American TV sitcom The Nanny (Season:2 Episode 15: "Kindervelt Days") found its heroine attending a Camp Kindervelt reunion party, reflecting the fact that some staffers of the show were former Kinderwelt campers.
Famous alumni include: Published writers who went to Camp Kinderwelt include Fradle Pomerantz Freidenreich, Barry Sheinkopf, Irwin Wall, Gerd Stern, Myron Pulier, Sylvia Boorstein, Leonard Michaels, Dori Weinstein, Steve Haines, Martin Smith, Allen Weinstein and David Friedman.
Artists include painter Donna Levinstone, Ellen Pushkin and jewelry designer Judith Ripka.
