Herzl Camp

Our Jewish traditions and ruach (spirit) help campers make lasting friendships and find their home away from home.

Join us on the shores of Devils Lake! Campers who call Herzl ‘home’ enjoy a variety of activities, amenities, and beautiful natural resources.

We make connections and nurture our Herzl family.

We are pluralistic in our Judaism; we embrace the people, the land and the story of Israel.

We provide tools, training and the opportunity to lead; transforming campers and staff into tomorrow’s passionate Jewish leaders.

We celebrate individuality and inclusion; encouraging everyone to be part of something bigger than themselves.

We embrace ongoing and inter-generational shared experiences ‘from the ridiculous to the sublime’ to foster lasting friendships, build identity, community and a sense of belonging throughout our lives.
