Since 1923, Camp Sussex has transformed the lives of children by providing the opportunity for children of limited financial means to leave the city during the summer to experience a traditional residential summer camp environment. Located in the lush mountains of northwest New Jersey, Camp Sussex helps children gain interpersonal social skills such as tolerance, cooperation, and self-reliance as they explore their creativity in the Camp’s safe and nurturing environment. Camp Sussex’s consistent commitment to creating an atmosphere of positive encouragement and personal attention has inspired a climate of loyalty among generations of Camp Sussex campers and staff, motivating those touched by the Camp to stay involved and give back to campers of the present day.
