Overview

Mission

Camp tel yehudah inspires jewish and zionist youth around the world to experience and embrace the diversity of the jewish people in a joyful and diverse community while training them to become leaders who effect positive change for the jewish people, israel and the world.

What it reported doing in 2024

377 teens from the united states, israel, mexico, and europe participated in camp tel yehudah's programs in summer 2025. During their time at tel yehudah they were engaged by our dynamic program of experiential education, activism and leadership development, which connected them to israel and judaism.campers participated in our hadracha leadership and activism institute. The highlight of this experience was our day on the hill program in which campers learned from leading advocacy and non-governmental organizations, as well as met with members of the united states congress along with camp alumni involved in all levels of the political process in Washington dc.

The verdict
