Jewish Summer Camps for Boys

Boys' Jewish overnight camps have a tradition that runs more than a century deep in America. The classic model — boys away from home for 4–8 weeks, building friendships, competing in sports, learning Torah, and growing in their Jewish identity — has proven its value generation after generation. The counselors boys have at camp often become lifelong role models and mentors.

Jewish boys' camps span every Jewish affiliation and every programming emphasis. Camp Agudah and Machane Ephraim provide the classic Agudath Israel experience in the Catskills. Camp Dora Golding (the oldest Orthodox camp in America) offers 156 acres of Pocono Mountain adventure with an NBA-size gym and a go-kart track. Camp Romimu is famous for its combination of excellent Torah learning and spectacular facilities at an unusually affordable price. Camp MDM serves older bochurim specifically in a serious learning-focused environment.

For boys who love sports, NCSY Camp Sports in Baltimore and the sports leagues of NCSY Kollel in Israel are standout options. For boys with special needs, Camp HASC provides a world-class therapeutic summer program. The JSummer directory helps families find the right boys' camp for their son's specific age, interests, and Jewish character.
