2023 Impact Report

Jonathan Cohen

From the President

Dear Cohen Camps family,

Each summer, Camps Pembroke, Tel Noar, and Tevya help children and teens grow chazak, chazak, from strength to strength.

Why is this so important?

  • Schools and families report that young people continue to wrestle with the after-effects of the pandemic. At camp, kids rediscover carefree, unplugged fun while gaining confidence, connection, and belonging.
  • For so many alumni, Pembroke, Tel Noar, and Tevya built an enduring touchstone for their Jewish identity. Now, anguish for Israel and antisemitism closer to home make clear how vital it is to sustain and strengthen our Jewish values and community, which are at the core of our nonprofit mission.

Thank you for being part of The Cohen Camps family. YOU are the inner strength in this community. Please enjoy this 2023 Impact Report: a snapshot of how much your partnership matters l’dor v’dor, from generation to generation.

Jonathan Cohen,
Third-generation President,

What is

inner strength?

It’s your belief in yourself. The skills and attitudes that keep you optimistic and adaptable. The capacity to show and receive love, compassion, and generosity. Your lifelong wellspring of resilience, character, and values.

Inner strength is…

Where Jewish summer camp shines for children and teens.

What YOU make possible.

The Cohen Camps' Mission

To enrich children’s lives by encouraging Jewish youth to be comfortable and confident in themselves so that they can connect positively with others and the world they live in.

"The deep friendships that have formed over the years gives a sense of confidence and inner strength that holds our child up when things are tough at school, especially socially."
"His growth is amazing. Camp teaches him to be independent yet a leader, to think for himself while getting along with others. These all come into play year-round."

There is no single contribution that has been greater in the development of my children's strong Jewish identity than Camp Tel Noar. Without financial support my children would never have been able to attend summer camp. For this, I will be eternally grateful!

Nearly 30 years later...

I can close my eyes and transport myself back to camp: the scent of the lake and pine needles, the sounds of play, the peace, the love of friends and community. That feeling keeps me going. There is truly nothing like it."

A Prayer for Peace

Many in our vast camp community live or have family and friends in Israel, including Shlichim (Israeli counselors), staff, campers, and alumni. We pray for everyone’s safety as we welcome back hostages, hope for more safe returns, and grieve for lives lost. We aspire to a future of peace.

You can help in Israel and at home as part of the Cohen Camps family:
