Our campers return as adults, and bring their children to experience the same joyous and transformative experiences they had as a young person.
Camp Tawonga has been a leader in Jewish camping for 95 years. Nestled in the stunning Yosemite National Park and in the San Francisco Bay Area, our campsite is a place of discovery and connection for children, families, and young adults alike. Our programs are designed to foster a deep connection to nature, community, and Judaism, while encouraging self-esteem and friendships that last a lifetime. Many of our campers return as adults, to share the same joy and transformation they had experienced as a child.
Yosemite-based programs include classic one to three week summer camp sessions and skill-building teen leadership offerings. Our adventure “Quests” offer epic wilderness explorations on the road. All programs are run by Tawonga’s renowned and dedicated staff.
