Jewish Summer Camps in Florida
Florida's Jewish families have unique summer options — from local programs to exciting travel camps based in the Sunshine State.
Florida is home to one of the largest and fastest-growing Jewish communities in America, concentrated in cities like Miami, Boca Raton, Aventura, Orlando, and Tampa. For Jewish Florida families, summer programming options range from local day camps to overnight programs right in the state — and many families also send children to the classic overnight camps in New York and Pennsylvania.
Camp Ohr Florida, based in Orlando, offers something genuinely different: a traveling camp experience that uses the excitement of central Florida as its playground. Rather than a fixed campus, Camp Ohr immerses girls in daily off-campus trips, creative arts, swimming, boating, and Orlando's unique attractions — all in a warm, technology-free, glatt kosher environment. It's an ideal option for Bais Yaakov girls who want an alternative to the Catskills experience.
Florida families looking for traditional overnight camping can also look to New York and Pennsylvania programs, which draw campers from South Florida each summer. Many offer busing from Miami and Boca Raton. JSummer lists both Florida-based programs and nearby overnight camps to give Florida families the complete picture.
