American Jewish Summer Camps Offer Israeli Teens a Break from Pressures at Home

This past summer, 770 Israeli teens from the Gaza Envelope region participated in Campers2Gether, a Jewish Agency initiative that began in 2024. The program provides these young individuals with a much-needed respite from the ongoing challenges they face due to the conflict.

The Jewish Agency partners with North American camps and Jewish federations to offer this unique opportunity. By attending the camps, Israeli teens gain a safe and supportive environment where they can relax, connect, and recharge away from the stresses of war.
