Overnight summer camp

Ages 7+ · $3,285 · Full day

Jewish overnight camp for campers entering grades 2-12, run in cabin groups that do nearly all activities together. First-timers can try a 4-5 night mini camp for grades 2-6 with a small staff-to-camper ratio, or start in Rishonim (grades 2-4); longer 11 and 18 night sessions follow, with teen leadership programs and a CIT program above them. Activities include arts, swimming, sports, ropes course, gardening, dance, archery and team building. The camp describes a radically inclusive philosophy, and a MESSH team (mental, emotional, social and spiritual health) works with campers, parents and staff on social, emotional and behavioral challenges, including homesickness. Licensed medical professionals are onsite 24/7, and the kitchen can accommodate many dietary needs; the camp is nut-free. Electronics with interactive screens are not allowed. Summer 2026 session fees ran from $1,200 for a mini camp to $4,530 for an 18-night session, with need-based assistance and first-time grants.
