Welcome to Herzl Camp

“I believe this is the most important thing that Herzl teaches you about Judaism; a sense of community. That we are all one, and this special connection brings us closer to G-d, closer to ourselves, and closer to each other.”

~ past Herzl Camper

“Apart from learning my place within the Jewish community, Herzl helped me (i) form opinions about important and pertinent Jewish topics, (ii) learn to work with other people, and (iii) taught me what it means to be a leader.”

~ past Herzl Camper

“…Herzl provides a sense of belonging to something that no one can take away.”

~ past Herzl Camper

“Herzl Camp has taught me the essential skills that have made me who I am today.”

~ past Herzl Camper

Family Camp Registration is Now Available!

Family Camp weekend is a meaningful vacation for families, parents and grandparents. The relaxed atmosphere provides a unique opportunity to share the magic of Herzl Camp as a family. It is a perfect way to introduce future campers to the Herzl experience, a chance for current campers to introduce their parent(s) to Herzl Camp and a way for all families to experience Jewish camping together.

Family Camp is filled with fun family activities, like a family bonfire, Shabbat experience, boating, tubing, arts and crafts, ultimate Frisbee and the annual family Softball game! While participating in these activities you are able to share quality family time that is hard to create during our everyday lives. In addition, there are activities for children of all ages and even separate programming for parents. Our energetic staff plan and implement the same types of exciting programs that are run the rest of the summer. You will also enjoy the unique combination of delicious food and the unbeatable Ruach (spirit) that make Herzl meal times so memorable. You can reserve your spot by clicking here to download a registration form.
