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 7.5 weeks at the beautiful bay-side campus of Cal Maritime. 2nd-12th graders choose from an abundant mix of activities and sports, experience the magic of Judaism and Shabbat, visit our Santa Rosa home for outdoor adventure and challenge courses, learn what it takes to be a mensch, 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.

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