Njy Camps

OUR MISSION NJY Camps offers the highest quality overnight camping experience in an environment infused with the richness of Jewish life. With an extraordinary range of comprehensive programming, NJY Camps offers a welcome place for a broad spectrum of Jewish children—from across various denominations, interests, special needs, and backgrounds. NJY Camps seeks to help each and every camper develop and grow new skills, greater self-confidence, and a strong Jewish identity and commitment to our heritage that will help shape the course of their lives. WHO WE ARE NJY Camps is one of the nation’s premier Jewish camping organizations, with seven camps clustered at two locations serving children, families and seniors. The camps draw more than campers each summer from numerous communities, primarily in the New York-New Jersey region, encompassing 16 JCC affiliates. Through a generous scholarship program, no child is turned away because of financial need. Founded in 1920, NJY Camps is among the oldest Jewish camps in the nation. Today, NJY Camps is a leader in innovative programming, which runs the gamut from specialty sports programs to the arts and sciences, all enhanced through partnerships with experts in the fields and leading national and international institutions.
