Our secure camp is located on 20 acres of beautiful grounds with basketball courts, a playground, athletic fields, private woods, a high and low ropes course, a zip line, a picnic grove, a pavilion, and more. Additionally, its air-conditioned indoor facility boasts a fitness center, an auditorium with a performance stage, an arts and crafts studio, classrooms, flexible play spaces, and best of all: an indoor 6 lane, 25-yard swimming pool!

With the encouragement and guidance of our highly-skilled staff, campers of all abilities and faiths participate in programs and activities designed to foster safe fun, growth, creativity, Jewish values/traditions, and lasting friendships. Instruction from our arts and crafts, archery/nature, ropes course, Judaic, and sports specialists will help campers discover their hidden talents.
