For more than 75 years, Camp Veritans Day Camp has been a place where summers are filled with laughter, friendship, and meaningful growth. Located in Haledon, New Jersey, our American Camp Association–accredited day camp provides children with a safe, joyful environment to explore, discover, and thrive.

Rooted in Jewish values, Camp Veritans is a welcoming and inclusive community where every child is celebrated for their unique spirit. We foster a culture of respect, belonging, and unity, helping campers build confidence, develop leadership skills, and form friendships that last a lifetime. Our commitment to celebrating diversity and promoting kindness ensures that every family feels at home.

Each summer from late June through mid-August, campers enjoy full days filled with swimming, athletics, creative arts, specialty programs, and outdoor adventures. We believe in the power of healthy risk-taking, teamwork, and hands-on experiences to nurture independence, resilience, and a growth mindset.

Safety, support, and professionalism are at the heart of our program. Camp Veritans maintains on-site security personnel and has received grant funding through the Department of Homeland Security to enhance our infrastructure and security measures. A registered nurse is on-site, and a licensed social worker is part of our camp community, supporting both campers and staff to ensure social-emotional well-being throughout the summer.

Our leadership team brings deep experience in education and child development. Most members of our administrative staff are professionals in the field — including general and special education teachers, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), and a school social worker. This educational expertise shapes our approach to programming, inclusion, and staff training, helping us create an environment where every child can succeed.

Camp Veritans proudly offers all-inclusive tuition, providing families with clarity and peace of mind. There are no hidden fees — daily transportation, nut-free snacks, a hot kosher lunch with dessert, all programming and special events, and trips for traveling units are included in the cost of camp. Once summer begins, your child can focus on fun, friendship, and growth — and you can feel confident knowing they are in caring, capable hands.

Camp Veritans is proudly owned and operated by the Veritans Club, a philanthropic organization founded in Paterson, New Jersey in 1927. For generations, dedicated volunteers have upheld a shared mission: to provide a safe, nurturing place where children can play, grow, and experience the very best of summer.

At Camp Veritans, we don’t just create summers — we build confidence, community, and lifelong memories.

During summer camp at Urban Adamah, we play, plant, sing, work, and get to know life on an urban farm. We get our hands dirty in the field, and we enjoy the fruits of our labors — fresh, delicious, organic produce! Through farm chores and responsibilities, self-directed play in our engaging spaces, and project-based nature and art activities, we learn about the natural world and explore community, teamwork, and the interconnectedness of all things.

Camp Givah is a unique Jewish day camp nestled in the scenic outdoors, offering children a warm, energetic inclusive, and spirited summer experience. Rooted in Jewish values and traditions, our program combines the joy of classic camp activities—like sports, swimming, nature, cooking, dancing, and arts—with meaningful cultural and educational moments. Through Shabbat celebrations, Hebrew exposure, and community-building experiences, campers form lasting friendships and deep connections to their Jewish identity.

Led by passionate staff and guided by a commitment to fun, safety, and learning, Camp Givah is a place where every child can grow, explore, and thrive. For over 60 years, we’ve been proud to welcome generations of campers into the Givah family—a place where summer memories are made and community begins.
