Somewhere new every year
One summer it's by the sea, the next somewhere else entirely — a new country, a new backdrop, the same camp. Campers grow up with the world as their summer home.

What Yael Camp is
A warm welcome, wherever summer takes us
Every summer, Jewish children and teenagers from diverse backgrounds are warmly welcomed to Yael Camp. Held in a different country each year, it gives young people the chance to bond with peers from different cultures and languages while exploring and celebrating their Jewish identity and community.
Why it's special
Three things that stay the same, even when the country doesn't
Always free
Every camper slot at Yael Camp is offered at no cost. We never want the price of summer to be the reason a child stays home.
A community that travels with you
Kids arrive speaking different languages and leave with friendships that don't need translation — rooted in a shared Jewish identity and a sense of belonging.
Days at camp
From the diving board to the dinner table
No two days look alike — adventure in the morning, something hands-on by afternoon, and new friends through all of it.
Who it's for
There's a place here for every kid
Yael Camp welcomes Jewish children and teenagers from every background — every country, every kind of family, every level of observance. Whoever they are when they arrive, they leave knowing they belong to something bigger.
It's a summer of swimming and sport and trying new things, yes — but mostly it's about discovering that wherever in the world you're from, you're never alone.
One camp, every summer
A summer they'll carry for years
A different country every year
Open to all backgrounds
Always free
