Since 1958, URJ Joseph Eisner Camp for Living Judaism has come to embody the transformative power of Jewish camping. Youngsters from the URJ’s Northeast, Greater New York, and New Jersey-West Hudson Valley regions join together each summer to have fun while experiencing the magic of this special community.

Our caring and committed staff members (many of whom were campers themselves) strive to enrich the campers’ experiences by helping them build lasting friendships. These relationships lay the foundation for our summer community, providing encouragement and support. Campers embrace the challenge of learning new skills in athletics, aquatics, the arts, and adventure and nature programs. They immerse themselves in a wide range of innovative Jewish educational pursuits and creative spiritual experiences.

From the youngest of our day campers to the oldest of our Machon (Counselors-in-Training), every child who spends a summer at Eisner Camp returns home a little wiser, a little more self-confident, and a little more connected to the Jewish community. A summer at Eisner Camp is more than a summer of fun. A summer at Eisner Camp is meant to last a lifetime.
