Camp Zeke is rooted in a set of core values that come from the Jewish tradition. Not only do campers take these values home with them for years after the camp experience, but the values guide all our decisions in the camp community.
Campers earn bracelets throughout the summer for displaying camp’s values. Click on the icons below to learn more about each of Camp Zeke’s values.

As you drive into camp, you’ll notice big signs that say things like, “Kindness is our highest value!” and “Be the kindest version of yourself.” That’s a theme at Camp Zeke. Kindness is the foundation of everything we do, and it guides all the interactions between the members of our community.
Camp provides a safe space to try new things, navigate relationships with new friends, make independent decisions, and grow grow grow! Parents frequently tell us that campers mature more in six weeks at camp than they do all year in school.
A core aspect of our mission is celebrating healthy, active living. Campers go home with new cooking and fitness skills and a commitment to leading healthy, active lives.
Every camper and staff member is a valuable and irreplaceable member of the Camp Zeke family. Throughout the summer, we take many opportunities to appreciate our kind, welcoming, and inspiring community.
Every visitor to camp, from new families to delivery drivers, knows how our community feels. When you walk onto the grounds, everyone who sees you will wave, say hello, and come shake your hand or give you a hug. That’s the same feeling our new campers have when they arrive for their first day of camp!
Our camp community is one big family. Campers and staff strive to treat everybody in the same loving way that they want to be treated themselves. This is another way that kindness is our most important value.
We create a welcoming community rooted in Jewish values that inspires people of all backgrounds to be the best versions of themselves by celebrating kindness, fitness, nutrition, and personal growth.
As campers grow up in our community, we give them the skills and inspiration to lead lives of strength, confidence, and vibrant good health. Our joyfully Jewish community believes that kindness and taking care of our health are essential for realizing our full human potential.
Our campers have made thousands of friendships, millions of memories, and lifelong skills in athletics, cooking, and joyful Judaism. We are proudly supported by:
We are fully accredited by the American Camp Association
