Camp Dror – Sleepaway Summer Camp

Camp Dror is a Jewish Orthodox sleepaway camp for youngsters entering 5-9 grades, that takes place in Northern Israel from Israel and from abroad.

The Camp Dror summer experience deepens Jewish identity through learning in a fun environment. The campers develop a strong connection to Am Yisrael and Eretz Yisrael by touring Israel and through the American-style camp activities.

A summer at Camp Dror promotes self-development, learning Jewish texts, and Jewish enrichment, as well as strengthening the connection to the Land of Israel through exploring nature and volunteering in the community.
