Residential Jewish summer camps as well as Jewish youth day camps provide your child with the chance to develop character, learn valuable life skills, make new friends, and discover new interests.

Day camps challenge Jewish youth—through clubs, conventions, events, and Israel programs—to become involved in social and educational activities that develop and sharpen their sense of Jewish identity.

Campers make friends that they will have through school and into their adult lives, so ModernMitzvah.com scouted some of the most wonderful Jewish camps in and around your area. Enjoy the listings filled with photos, activity descriptions, contact info, and locations.
