About Camp Chaverim

​​​​​Camp Chaverim is a local community camp for all children, regardless of your family's religious affiliation. "Chaverim" means "friend" in Hebrew-and our goal is to build and foster friendship.

 

At Camp Chaverim, we emphasize a fun and meaningful Jewish cultural experience and are open to all, regardless of Jewish knowledge, practice, or connection to TBI. You don't need to be a TBI member or even involved with TBI to attend, and we look forward to a great variety of backgrounds and perspectives!​
