At Camp Chaverim, we work very hard to appreciate one another. We have a zero-tolerance bullying policy. The Ahavas Yisroel here is real- it is what makes Camp Chaverim so special. Boys choose Chaverim specifically because we offer a broad range of fun and engaging activities for all ages and interests. Chaverim counselors are carefully selected Beis Medrash Bochurim who exhibit exceptional middos, a whole lot of energy, and a real understanding of how to work with kids. Boys grow tremendously in their Limud Hatorah at Camp Chaverim because of our engaging morning iyun seder, our afternoon Hands on Halachah program, and our spectacular “after hours” optional incentive learning program called Vesen Chelkainu.

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.
