While we offer tours and information sessions all year, the Tel Noar Sleepover (with day-only option) will takes place only twice each summer.
If your camper attends on July 11-12, there’s even time to enroll for a 2- or 3.5-week camp session that starts on July 19.
The Day Experience
| 10:30am Sunday | Your family arrives for a warm Tel Noar welcome and a taste of camp life. |
| Morning | Your Future Camper child gets paired with a current camper their age: their Camp Buddy. Together they head off for a Buddy-led tour of camp and a bunk activity. Parents tour Tel Noar and meet the leadership team. Then join us for snacks and Q+A where you can get to know Director Aaron Gurvis and get all questions answered. You can then head out for your afternoon. |
| Afternoon | Your Future Camper child joins their Camp Buddy and new friends for lunch, electives, and special moments designed just for them. |
| Dinner | After an exciting day, you can pick up your child before or after dinner, full of stories and memories to share... or your child may stay for the sleepover! Want to wait to decide? That's ok! See FAQ below. |
The Sleepover Experience
| Day | Same as above. |
| Evening | After an exciting day, your child relishes dinner, an evening program, camp traditions, and an overnight in a bunk with their Camp Buddy just like current campers! Change of heart? That's ok! See FAQ below. |
| 9:30am Monday | Pick-up your child after breakfast, full of stories and memories to share. Transportation challenges? Let us help! See FAQ below. |
A culture of
Bright Belonging
Why do 97% of Tel Noar campers return year after year?
Because at Camp Tel Noar, every camper shines. Here, the entire camp knows your name. Friendships start in your bunk—then your community extends throughout camp, across all ages, thanks to our unique cabins and easy-to-navigate size. Your counselors care, befriend, coach, and serve as role models. Jewish life and camp traditions make every day a story to share. You grow into the person you want to become: confident, independent, and full of fun experiences that sustain you all year.
You could choose from lots of camps. Tel Noar is your home.
FAQ
Could my child stay for the day only?
Yes, absolutely!
You may want to pack an overnight bag and sleeping bag just in case they are having so much fun that they would like to stay over. Space permitting, they are welcome to do so!
What if my child can't decide or changes their mind?
It’s OK for your camper to change plans!
- Campers may opt out of staying overnight if they get toward the end of the day and decide they would rather not. We will be in touch and you could pick them up before or after dinner.
- Space permitting, campers may decide to stay overnight if they has only signed up for the day program. (We suggest you drop off an overnight bag with them “just in case.”)
Can you help with transportation on Monday?
Does your child need transportation back from camp on Monday? We understand that juggling schedules can be challenging, and we want to help. Please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate and make some arrangements for you.
