Youth Camps - Overnight Camps



Camp is fun. It's joyful. The children who come have the time of their lives and form some of the closest friendships they will ever have.

But our camps do more than this. We build character, we help kids develop independence, and we instill a love of Judaism through cultural experiences that are enjoyable and relevant even for kids who have limited Jewish backgrounds when they first come to us. We also teach skills, not just skills on the court or in the water or in the arts, but also skills for working and living with others. We enable children to grow as individuals and members of the society in a comfortable, supportive environment.

We believe in singing and spirit, in creative programs that get kids really excited and engaged, in experiencing the beauty and awe of being in nature, and in creating a caring community where every child is respected and appreciated.

While we are independent camps, each with its distinct personality, we also work together in a unique collegial relationship, sharing best practices and ideas so each of our programs is as strong as it can be. As fellow beneficiaries of UJA-Federation of New York, we consider ourselves partners in helping children to thrive and to develop stronger Jewish identities.
