Camp Tel Yehudah

Teens from around the world form friendships through a unique mix of fun, Judaism, and leadership

Tel Yehudah’s dynamic program builds leadership skills and motivation, social responsibility, critical thinking and life-long commitment to Israel and the Jewish People. Our teens enjoy athletics, music, arts and crafts, hiking, performing arts, experiential education, out-of-camp trips and many other activities. Located on 150 beautiful wooded acres on the banks of the Delaware River in Barryville, New York, Tel Yehudah draws campers and staff from across the United States, United Kingdom, Israel and increasingly, around the world. We reach out to all Jewish youth, regardless of affiliation, to create a vibrant, pluralist community where each participant grows personally in the context of a strong and supportive community.
