From Director Aaron Gurvis

Why do 97% of campers return to CTN each summer?

Because at Camp Tel Noar, the whole camp knows your name…and probably your favorite song, snack, and silly dance move, too. Join this warm, spirited Jewish overnight camp family where traditions are strong, friendships are real, and every camper gets to shine. Whether you’re choosing your own activities and electives, singing around the campfire, or heading out on epic trip days, you’re free to be you. No pressure to compete, no outside concerns, just an unplugged summer full of joy, connection, Jewish values, and the kind of belonging that sticks with you all year and sustains you for a lifetime. Most of all, you’ll grow close with friends and counselors who become our summer family. Join us for our 81st season.

Work Here

A summer job at Camp Tel Noar is as fulfilling and valuable for our counselors and staff as it is for our campers: a great first or next step in your career.

We love hearing my son’s stories about the friendships he made, the activities and the counselors. Sometimes it is hard for him to talk because he is smiling so much! Pure happiness is our favorite part of his Tel Noar experience.

My daughter's counselors were phenomenal. She felt loved, cared for, special, and appreciated.

To me, it feels like camp should feel. Tel Noar has an outdoor, in the woods, by the lake, rustic atmosphere, yet the bunks, dining hall, and pool are quite nice. It has a wide variety of activities. It is able to achieve a small family feel and create a sense of community. All under a Jewish umbrella.
