Description
Since 1902, Surprise Lake Camp has provided a haven for Jewish children in the picturesque mountains of Cold Spring, NY. What makes SLC the best is the beauty of the site, the richness of the people & program, the sense of history & tradition, & the magic we create when the whole thing comes together.
Our program is filled with camp favorites like soccer, volleyball, ropes courses, a zip line, basketball, tennis, gaga, & more. We also have more creative opportunities, such as arts & crafts, drama, music, dance, photography, Israeli Culture & more!
Our waterfront program offers Red Cross swim instruction, swim teams, sailing, canoeing, row boating, kayaking, windsurfing, stand-up paddleboards, & water trampolines.
We have delicious kosher food service, two kinds of Shabbat services, fun & engaging Jewish activities, & a unique Bar/Bat Mitzvah program for those who never had the chance to have one.
Surprise Lake Camp has a sliding fee scale based on family income and size.
