Camp Nai East

Your Camp Nai adventure kicks off Friday afternoon and wraps up Sunday with unforgettable memories. Expect a weekend packed with excitement, connection, and plenty of choose-your-own-adventure fun!

What’s Included:

• Delicious Meals & Snacks: Enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner, and plenty of nosh throughout the day.
• Cantiki Lounge: Stock up on extra snacks, drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), and camp swag.
• Shabbat Moments: Celebrate Shabbat in ways that feel meaningful to you! Start with camp-wide candle lighting and Kabbalat Shabbat experiences, then ease into the weekend with campfire songs, s’mores, and NAIce breakers that bring everyone together. The next morning, join optional Shabbat services and moments of reflection before diving into the day’s adventures.
• Unique Jewish Experiences: Dive into playshops that make Jewish learning anything but ordinary! Whether you’re exploring traditions through movement, creativity, or even food, these sessions bring Jewish values and stories to life in ways that are as engaging as they are unexpected.
• Saturday Nai-ght Party: Dance the night away with a DJ, photo booth, obstacle courses, and epic games.
• Maccabiah & Color War: Dive into friendly competition on Sunday, followed by an award ceremony and a falafel feast.

We’ll send you everything you need ahead of time—your packing list, Color War team, and a weekend schedule—to make sure you’re ready for all the fun!

Choose from private rooms, bunks, or outdoor options—all designed to make your camp experience comfortable and fun. If you have a preferred roommate, and you indicate one another on the registration form, you will be placed together. If you do not request a specific roommate, or do not match with your request, one will be assigned to you – and hopefully will become your camp bestie! Prices vary by option.

• Double Rooms: Hotel-style room two queen or twin beds and a private or semi-private bathroom.
• Triple Rooms: Room with 3 twin beds and a semi-private bathroom.
• Cabin/Cabin Style: Cabins fit anywhere from 4-20 campers and include bunk beds with linens, a shared bathroom, and storage space.
• Tent and Yurt Village: Perfect for those that love the outdoors! Please keep in mind, these are not luxury, but will still give you the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors with your new camp besties for some late-night star gazing! Electrical outlets are included in both the tent and yurt village.
  • Tent Village:  4-6 person platform raised-canvas tents with minimal electricity, and an adjacent bathroom and shower.
  • Yurt Village: Yurts can accommodate up to 12 people and include bunks, and adjacent bathrooms and showers.
