Camp Poyntelle has been making children’s summer dreams come true since 1947. As a premier Jewish summer camp, we offer a traditional sleepaway experience filled with amazing memories, lasting friendships and nurturing staff. We feel that camp is one of the few places a child can be their own person, without judgment or social pressure. Our intentional community is designed to allow kids to be kids, in a low key, inclusive environment. There are many words & phrases that come to mind: Intentionally Low Key, Kind, Exciting, Values Driven Jewish Life and more! When you combine awesome sports, creative arts, challenging technology and our 70 acre, one-of-a-kind private lake; you get something truly unique… you get Camp Poyntelle!
