Teen camp or TAC, is a place for campers to thrive while receiving a clear structure and set of boundaries but enough freedom and flexibility to explore new interests and have the opportunity to step up and take on positions of responsibility.

We challenge our TAC campers to think about new ideas, to put themselves outside of their comfort zone and to gain an appreciation for helping and benefiting others. Campers leave completely inspired by the opportunities they have explored and the new ideas they have been exposed to.

Our camp’s focus is on teen leadership, service learning, and international teen tour experiences.

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.

The seven weeks at Camp Shoresh are all about positive Judaism for campers entering Pre-K thru 10th grades from across MD, VA, W. VA, and D.C.
