Description
Welcome to Camp Tevya, a warm and spirited community that so many people call “home.” Each summer, we celebrate fun, self-confidence and friendships, our daily life infused with Jewish values. Our committed staff helps our campers develop strong character and gain life skills as they grow spiritually, socially and physically. Your child will enjoy favorite activities and try new ones, including swimming, waterskiing, sailing, tennis, archery, soccer, theatre production, videography, Jam Band, duct tape art and so much more. There is truly something for everyone on the shores of Lake Potanipo.
The best part of Tevya: we do all our activities with our friends by our side. Friends who encourage us to try that basket one more time and then cheer us on as we sink the shot. Friends who yell “we love you” in unison as we take the stage. Friends who laugh and who listen. Friends who allow us to be ourselves. Come experience the Tevya Spirit!
