Tranquillity Camp

Part of Growing Up. The best part.

At Tranquillity Camp, we uphold our generational traditions and intentional simplicity, assuring our long-standing practice of always doing what’s right.

Tranquillity has been a special place full of compassion, family traditions, and endless but flexible activities for more than one hundred years. Our unspoiled, 1,200-acre property in the beautiful foothills of the Catskills in Earlton, New York, is a home away from home for passionate staff and returning campers to renew their forever friendships and revisit the lifelong memories made here.

All our camp family is accepted for who they are, and everyone is known by both staff and leadership. What’s more, we are rooted in Jewish-led values that welcome all.

At Tranquillity Camp, lifelong bonds are created, and lives are transformed. So join us and watch our campers find their unique place among friends that feel like family.

Meet The Director

Richard Lerner

Born and Raised in Brooklyn NY, Richard spent his formative years at Tranquillity Camp as a camper, CIT, Counselor and Head Counselor. He stayed involved with camp as a frequent volunteer and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Tranquillity Alumni. He attended Long Island University and is a veteran of the US Air Force. After a career in business, Richard returned to Tranquility in 1996 and assume the role of Executive Director. He continues to honor the traditions and lessons he learned as a camper and counselor, but has guided Tranquillity into the 21st century recognizing that camp should change and grow to accommodate this generation’s needs and wants. Change can be a positive, but not for the sake of change itself. His belief is that children need to appreciate play, nature, friendly competition and socialization. Camp is an opportunity to grow, learn responsibility and problem-solve without the need for electronics. Tranquillity remains “un-plugged”.
