Golden Slipper Camp for Boys and Girls

Golden Slipper Camp for Boys and Girls

Kids just want to have fun!

Not to mention try new things, make new friends, and grow in new ways.

Join us at Golden Slipper Camp this summer. And let the fun begin!

Since 1948, Golden Slipper Camp in the Pocono Mountains has provided kids, ages 7 to 15, with a setting that lets them discover more about themselves in a supportive, nurturing environment, while also learning about Jewish values. Located on 600 beautifully wooded acres overlooking a private lake, Golden Slipper Camp fosters independence, builds self-esteem, and encourages skill development with positive role models. We offer dozens of activities and an expanding, exciting assortment of Jewish programming, while providing modern, secure overnight camping facilities. And our camp "spirit" and community is second to none. Here at Slipper, kids learn while they're having fun and make friendships that last a lifetime.

On your mark, get set, have fun!

At Golden Slipper Camp, kids enjoy a full day of activities. From the morning flag-raising to our evening campfires, boys and girls are encouraged to try new activities and games and crafts in a safe, playful, supportive environment. We offer supervised boating, mountain biking, creative arts, wall climbing, swimming, soccer, and much more. Each new skill instills a sense of pride and accomplishment that kids carry with them long after camp is over. We also provide frequent Jewish educational programming throughout the summer... for example, this past summer the whole camp enjoyed an amazing, live Rick Recht concert, and our senior campers experienced a memorable and powerful trip to the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. We look forward to more fun Jewish programming events and activities this summer.

And guess what? Even when the summer ends and kids go back home, we provide many ways for campers and counselors to connect and build friendships, both online and in-person. It's a unique community atmosphere unlike any other place that kids will ever experience!
