Cedar Lake Camp (NJY Camps)

Your home away from home

Individual choice is the hallmark of the Cedar Lake Camp experience. Through our varied elective program, we empower campers to expand their abilities and pursue their unique interests one camper at a time. CLC is the NJY Camps’ exciting traditional camp summer program for children entering grades 7 to 9. We are conveniently located in Milford, Pennsylvania, 60 miles from Manhattan, on our beautiful eleven hundred acre, tree shaded campus, in the foothills of the Pocono Mountains.

At Cedar Lake Camp, one of the country’s largest camps devoted exclusively to 11-14 year olds, life-long friendships are developed, interests explored, new horizons discovered and self-awareness cultivated, which embraces Judaism.

Meet The Director

Jason Hosiassohn

Jason Hosiassohn has been working for NJY Camps since 2008 and has been working full time for the agency since 2014.

Jason grew up in Cape Town, South Africa and moved to Toronto, Canada at the age of 11. He received a Bachelor’s Degree of Recreation and Leisure Studies from Brock University. Upon the completion of his degree, and through Brock University, he was involved in the creation of a day camp program for low income families in the area.

During his 15 years at NJY Camps, Jason has worn many hats. His first six summers were spent in Cedar Lake Camp, the final of which he worked as the Assistant Director. In 2014 he joined the full-time team and for the seven years to follow, Jason was the Assistant Director of Camp Nah-Jee-Wah and directed NJY Camps’ Pre and Post Camp seasons, First Step and short stay programs. In 2021, Jason was the Director of Teen Camp, and in 2022 he enjoyed an amazing first summer as the Director of Cedar Lake Camp.

Jason has also completed the JCC Association Merrin Teen Fellowship Program, an 18-month program that develops and enhances Teen leadership skills.

Passion, enthusiasm, and a genuine love for camp are among the many amazing things that Jason brings to CLC. His favorite part of the camp experience is watching campers progress and grow into young inspirational leaders during their transformative summers.

Jason currently lives in Metuchen, NJ. He is married to Talia, a dietician, who enjoys spending time in the beautiful outdoors of camp whenever she gets the chance. In his free time, Jason loves to travel the world and is an avid sports fan. You’ll frequently find him wearing gear supporting his beloved Montreal Canadiens.

Excited for this new adventure in CLC, Jason will only enhance an already exceptional experience for our campers
