New England’s three Cohen Camps are home to lifelong friendships, spirited fun and Jewish connection. Just an hour from Boston, each shines with its own personality. Camp Pembroke in MA is a unique sisterhood for girls. As co-ed camps in NH, Tevya exudes energy while Tel Noar offers cozy warmth.
“Our camps’ atmosphere is carefree and unplugged, full of opportunities to develop skills, shine, lead and deepen your Jewish identity,” says third-generation President Jonathan Cohen. “We cultivate community, belonging and growth. Parents tell us their children gain confidence, friends and resilience that sustain them all year—both at home and school.”
Campers enjoy a rich array of activities including creative and performing arts, land and water sports, swimming and field trips. “Our balanced program adds more electives as you age,” Cohen says. “With lots of special events, there’s no ‘ordinary’ day at camp.” By taking the virtual tour available on each camp’s website, families can fly over the lakes, see the sailboats and waterparks and visit the tennis courts, bunks, dining halls and dance and photography studios from the comfort of home.
Ages 7-16 can enroll for 3.5 or 7 weeks. Younger first-timers also have a 2-week option at Tel Noar or Pembroke. Scholarships as well as first-timer and sibling discounts are available. “Try Camp for a Day” events take place twice each summer. The non-denominational Kosher camps welcome families across the Jewish spectrum.
“Our camps build an enduring touchstone for Jewish life and community—which holds more significance for families than ever,” Cohen says. “Parents, alumni and our caring staff are true partners in our 90- year nonprofit legacy.”
