At Camp Galil, we do instill Jewish values and build Jewish identity while teaching leadership skills and empowering campers to be social justice activists. Kids who want to help shape their own summer experience will find a home at Camp Galil. Parents who want to foster independence and confidence love the way Galil nurtures their kids and inspires them to make the world a better place.

Camp Galil is a progressive Zionist, rustic overnight Jewish summer camp for campers in 2nd-11th grade with a strong focus on social justice and youth leadership. Located in Bucks County, PA, we focus on cooperative living and welcome families from all streams of Jewish life to create a diverse and inclusive community. Camp Galil’s youth leadership model empowers our talented counselors to design all aspects of our summer fun and educational program, and our historic partnership with the Habonim Dror youth movement connects our campers and staff with Habonim Dror youth members from around the world. Our campers and staff come together to create a joyful and energetic community built on Jewish values, a connection to Israel, and social justice for a summer of amazing fun and to build a better world together.

At URJ Camp Newman’s summer camp, we’re building a foundation for a vibrant Jewish life. Led by experienced staff and Jewish professionals, we offer a plethora of traditional and specialty summer sessions from 3 days to 8 weeks at our home amongst the redwood trees in the hills of Santa Rosa, CA. Campers currently in 2nd-11th grades create community within their cabins, as a part of an age-group cohort and together with the full camp community. Days at camp include individual choice from an abundant mix of activities like archery, circus arts, martial arts, splashing in the pool and flying down the waterslide, tons of sports like pickleball, basketball, soccer and ultimate frisbee, fine and performing arts, all within our joyful, Jewish community. Shabbat is the highlight of our week complete with music, Israeli dancing, delicious food and stunning sunsets. At camp, we create the world as we want it to be – more inclusive, more kind, more joyful – and we learn what it takes to be a mensch and go out into the world to make it a better place. We build friendships that last a lifetime and have a TON of fun! And all staff are guided by a philosophy of C.A.R.E.: Community, Acceptance, Role modeling, and Each & Every camper’s uniqueness, creating a space of true belonging.

*We welcome transgender, intersex, non-binary and gender-non conforming campers
