Both our synagogue and kids' school use Yavneh for retreats. The staff is great and the food is surprisingly delicious for camp. Lovely space. We have a great time. Highly recommended for your retreats as well.

Terrible. Children there are often bullied, and the aministration does nothing about it. To one child there were instances of children physically attacking him by throwing baseballs at their head, children stealing from him, and even one boy urinating on him while he was showering. Moreover they have very strict policies against crossdressing and homosexuality which basically means if you are a homosexual teen or transgender teen the administration will actively be out to get you.
Do NOT send your children here.

My wife works here and loves meeting new people from all over the world this camp treats all their kids as if they were their own children these children get to learn different things the best is the nature that is around them they enjoy seeing my wife as she shows them how the lunar moths are beautiful how she attracts them in her hands dragon flys chipmunks the children seem to think she is a animal or insect whisperer like a doctor Doolittle the children love this and they learn about the nature around them they seem to like the surroundings

Disclaimer- me or my kids did not attend this camp. We were present at Flume Gorge hike where these campers were hiking.
The counselors (older kids who lead the young campers) do not have manners when they are at a public place such as the Flume Gorge. The gorge pathway is narrow and comfortably allows for a single file line to climb. There were several families with different abilities on this pathway along with us while we were climbing. Once the campers , led by their counselors arrived on the path, they pushed everything and everyone away from their path pretty much. Either everyone infront of them has to rush through the whole climb, without a chance to even stop and take a single pic, or hang on the rail for dear life while the counselors barged through without saying excuse me, thankyou, sorry campers coming through etc. NO MAGIC WORDS. Very rude counselors.

Camp Yavneh: A Jewish Overnight Summer Camp for Kids and Teens
Established in 1944, Camp Yavneh is a premier Jewish overnight summer camp located on 65 acres of woodland and waterfront in Northwood, New Hampshire. The camp provides a unique opportunity for kids and teens ages 7-15 to come together from diverse Jewish backgrounds to celebrate Jewish life and living while at camp.
At Camp Yavneh, we believe that every child deserves an unforgettable summer experience. Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn new skills, make lifelong friends, and deepen their connection to Judaism. We offer a wide range of activities that cater to the interests of each camper while promoting personal growth and development.
Our facilities are top-notch with modern cabins equipped with electricity, hot water showers, toilets, sinks as well as air conditioning units. We have two large dining halls that serve delicious kosher meals three times daily. Our waterfront features two lakes perfect for swimming or boating activities such as kayaking or canoeing.
We also have sports fields for soccer or baseball games; tennis courts; archery ranges; arts & crafts studios where kids can express their creativity through painting or pottery making; music rooms where they can learn how to play instruments like guitar or piano.
One of the unique aspects of our program is our focus on Jewish education. Every day at camp begins with morning prayers followed by breakfast before heading off into various activities throughout the day. In addition to traditional summer camp activities like swimming lessons or arts & crafts classes we also offer Judaic studies classes taught by experienced educators who help instill values such as respect for others' beliefs while fostering an appreciation for one's own heritage.
Our staff members are carefully selected based on their experience working with children as well as their commitment to creating a positive environment at camp. They undergo extensive training before the start of each season so they are prepared to handle any situation that may arise during your child's stay at Camp Yavneh.
We understand how important it is for parents/guardians when choosing a summer camp program which is why we encourage you visit us during our open house events held throughout the year so you can see firsthand what makes us different from other camps in New Hampshire area!
In conclusion, if you're looking for an unforgettable summer experience filled with fun-filled days spent outdoors surrounded by nature while learning about Judaism then look no further than Camp Yavneh! With over 75 years of experience providing quality programming tailored specifically towards children ages 7-15 years old there's no better place than here!
