Company

Camp is a transformative experience. A time for discovery, growth and independence.

At Camp Nah-Jee-Wah, we have developed a multi-faceted, family friendly program that can be individually tailored to your needs – be it one week or the entire summer.

Whatever time your child spends with us, you can be certain that they will grow  –  physically and emotionally – in an atmosphere that nurtures the individual through the group experience. Self-esteem and skills are professionally developed by our mature, experienced staff, most of whom are with us year after year.

Our Staff

A core of NJY Camps veterans provide the foundation for our staff each summer. They are joined by college students, athletes, former campers, teachers, and trained professionals from across the United States and abroad.

In addition to being well qualified and experienced, we look for energetic and responsible individuals who are ready for a summer full of lasting camp memories while helping campers make lifelong friends.

Something we take great pride in is the diversity of our staff who hail from Israel, Australia, South Africa, England, Argentina, South America, and countless other countries. Diversity of culture, thought, and ideas make for an accepting and thriving camp community. Your child will not only leave learning more about themselves but also with a deeper understanding and appreciation of those and the world around them.

Camp Nah-Jee-Wah hosts staff training in advance of camper arrivals. Counselors attend sessions that emphasize child care and development, community building and creative programming. Counselors receive on-going training throughout the summer and daily supervision on the job.

A focus on meeting the individual needs of our campers is our top priority.

Our 3-1 staff-camper ratio ensures all campers are provided the care and attention they need to thrive in the camp setting.
