Apachi Day Camps offer a breathtaking array of activities, field trips and special days. We can go old school with songs, swimming, theater and arts and crafts. We can go new school with rock climbing, yoga and STEM.

We go where our campers can discover new experiences in a safe environment giving them the freedom to explore who they really are, play in a bully-free zone, and find out what it means to be a friend…

And we always go to a place where campers are embraced by the spirit and values of our Jewish community.

Shabbat Fridays bring campers a little closer together as they celebrate Apachi style. Maccabi games give our campers the chance to compete in this uniquely Jewish sporting event. An Israeli Shuk can turn a camp into Jerusalem.

While every year we keep adding to our menu of programs and activities, one thing stays the same—our ruach (spirit)! The magic a child experiences and the friendships that are developed at camp last a lifetime. Camp exposes us to new activities, new people, and to things we may never have tried before. In addition, the self-confidence that builds in children greatly impacts their future endeavors. You will not find a more dedicated or passionate group of leaders—with many of our staff starting as campers. There’s nothing like the Camp Jaycee experience!

Located in Northwood, NH, Camp Yavneh is committed to providing a K’lal Yisrael experience in a camp environment where all aspects of life reflect Jewish values. A place for Jewish learning and a fulfilling camp experience for all Jewish children.

Yavneh is one of a few Jewish camps not affiliated with a denomination and our families span all backgrounds and affiliations of Judaism. We believe that dedication to the Jewish people, to Israel and to being a member of a Jewish community are essential to pass on our masoret (tradition). These values are instilled through day-to-day interactions among madrichim (counselors), chanichim (campers) and tzevet (staff), and are reflected in camp-wide activities.

What makes Yavneh unique is our ability to create a cohesive community not separated by differences in practices. We encourage all chanichim to share in our rich Jewish traditions and we help equip them become an active part of the larger Jewish community with a greater respect and understanding of all Jews. This deepens their understanding of Jewish life and traditions, while helping them gain an appreciation for, and understanding of, alternative points of view concerning observance and philosophy.

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.
