Camp Overview

Since 1958, URJ  Eisner Camp  has come to embody the transformative power of Jewish camping. Children from throughout the northeastern United States join together each summer to have fun while experiencing the magic of this special community.
Our caring and committed staff members (many of whom were campers themselves) strive to enrich the campers' experiences by helping them build lasting friendships. These relationships lay the foundation for our summer community, providing encouragement and support. Campers embrace the challenge of learning new skills in athletics, aquatics, the arts, and adventure and nature programs. They immerse themselves in a wide range of innovative Jewish educational pursuits and creative spiritual experiences.
From the youngest of our day campers to the oldest of our Machon (Counselors-in-Training), every child who spends a summer at Eisner Camp returns home a little wiser, a little more self-confident, and a little more connected to the Jewish community. A summer at Eisner Camp is more than a summer of fun. A summer at Eisner Camp is meant to last a lifetime.

STAFF TIME OFF

Staff members receive 6 days off when camp is in session. Each day they have one period off as well as time in the evening, once they complete their unit and camper responsibilities.

STAFF QUALITIES

Competent, energetic applicants who demonstrate a love of working with young people; a desire to help build a community; an ability to work independently as well as part of a team; and a connection or desire to learn about Judaism. Previous experience isn’t the key to success at Eisner, it’s your attitude and willingness to learn that really make the difference. We provide training at the start of the summer season and offer ongoing support throughout the summer so your experience is as great as the campers’ experiences.
