Summer Camps
Each year, over 3,000 campers and staff converge at Young Judaea’s day and overnight camps. With participants from across the US and staff from around the world, our camps deliver the ultimate Jewish summer experience—one we’ve perfected over 70 years. It’s no surprise our chanichim return every summer!

“It’s the sense of community, Zionism, and connection to Judaism. She comes home each summer singing prayers at the Shabbat table and jumping around and singing like crazy…this enthusiasm is astounding to see. When she comes home, she is flying high on camp ruach.”

Day Camps
There are two YJ Day Camps. Sprout Brooklyn, located in Red Hook, is Brooklyn’s premier dual language day camp. Campers spend half of each day immersed in the Hebrew language while they enjoy activities such as instructional swimming, cooking and sports. Young Judaea Sprout Westchester is the premier Jewish day camp in Northern Westchester where Jewish children in grades Pre-K through 5th grade thrive & shine!
