Family Camp Weekends
We are thrilled that you are choosing to join us for one of our incredible Family Camp Weekends!
Family Camp Weekends offer you the opportunity to enjoy camp and everything it has to offer as part of a weekend away with your family. Throughout the summer, we offer a number of weekend options, each including an extensive schedule of programming delivered by our wonderfully talented staff.
What Makes Family Camp Special
As one of the premier family camps in Pennsylvania, NJY Camps sets Family Camp Weekends on our beautiful campus in Milford, PA, where we have something for every member of the family, from sports and zip-lining, to 100ft water slide and crafts. Kids come for free as well! Whether you are interested in sending your child to camp next summer, you want to meet like-minded families at a themed getaway, or you just want a fun vacation with a tailored program at your fingertips, Family Camp Weekends are the perfect retreat for every family at an unbeatable price.
Weekend Logistics
Each family signs up for a private cabin to themselves or, if you choose, a cabin to share with friends. Equipped with recently upgraded ensuite bathrooms, electricity, and bedding, the cabins provide a cozy yet “campy” feel for all guests. Upon arrival, families receive a packet of information including a detailed schedule of the weekend with the activity and program options offered. Meals are provided in our dining hall, served cafeteria style with a wide variety of choices, including options for special dietary needs.
We begin our Family Camp Weekends by welcoming in Shabbat as a community. This includes a delicious Friday Night Shabbat meal followed by optional camp-style services in our beautiful amphitheater led by our song leader.
Each morning, we offer a day camp for children ranging from 3-11 years old with a whole host of age-appropriate elective options. We even have a flexible schedule for teens. This is the perfect time for parents who are looking to enjoy some of the adults only programming which might include adult craft projects, exercise workouts, or something completely different!
Throughout the day our swimming pool, lakefronts, and ropes courses are open for guests to enjoy. Meanwhile sports games, scavenger hunts, ice cream parties, outdoor cooking, and other popup activities are regular fixtures throughout the afternoon.
Evenings consist of Family fun games, a teen lounge, special entertainment shows, and a classic camp fire and s’mores roasting. There is no lack of fun and adventure, and we guarantee all members of the family will be ready for a good night’s sleep at the end of the day!
