Camp Judaea is a leader in the Jewish and Zionist camping world for environmentalism in the Southeast region of the United States.  Our Jewish and Zionist programming is intertwined with the importance of environmentalism.  Representing the pluralist American Jewish community, Camp Judaea educates about culture, respect and diversity.  Jewish identity building is a core product of our program and this translates to future Jewish leaders who take action in the Jewish Value of "tikkun olam," repairing the world. 

When you meet a camper who participated in our program, you see a child who is equipped with the tools to heal the world.  At Camp Judaea, we are dedicated to educating the leaders and citizens of tomorrow on the importance of taking care of the earth today.  We teach how to promote sustainability and encourage campers' efforts at being good neighbors with each other by respecting the environment we all share.

Camp offers a magical socialization environment in which we have an opportunity that no other educational institution can offer.  We have a captive audience that is eager to be at camp and learn what we have to offer.  Just as we teach Judaism by "living Judaism,"  we teach environmentalism by modeling for campers how to incorporate recycling, reducing, reusing and conserving into their daily life.
