Eden Village Camp

The farm-to-table Jewish organic sleepaway camp

Located on 250 acres in the beautiful Hudson Valley, Eden Village Camp reimagines traditional camp activities within a kind, socially-conscious, land-based way of life. Enjoying organic, local, ethically-sourced, homemade Kosher food, campers are immersed in herbalism, cooking, animal care, farming, art, music, spirituality, wilderness skills, rock climbing, swimming, boating, and more. All the traditional camp activities plus a joyful environmental ethos, innovative back-to-the-land spirituality, and a culture of kindness that is the true magic of our community. Eden Village is ACA-accredited and is not affiliated with any one Jewish movement – campers come from a wide variety of Jewish backgrounds. Generous scholarships are available.

*We welcome transgender, intersex, non-binary and gender-non conforming campers

Simone grew up in camp and community, spending 13 years learning and educating with Habonim Dror, after which she worked in synagogues, community centers and after-school programs to facilitate creative Jewish experiential learning. Her spiritual and environmental practice was further shaped through living in a community at Findhorn Ecovillage in Scotland, participating in the ADAMAH farming fellowship, and working as a Jewish environmental educator with the TEVA Learning Alliance. During the past decade, Simone has visioned, developed and grown Eden Village’s one-of-a-kind programming to include innovative, age-appropriate opportunities unique to the community.
