Our Vision
At Camp Alonim, Jewish life is found in the stirrup of a saddle, the top of a climbing wall, and the circle of an Israeli folk dance.
We’re a pluralistic, non-denominational home for campers and families to build confidence and connections in a community that sticks with you for life.
Since 1953, Camp Alonim has been part of AJU’s “laboratory for living Judaism.”
For generations, campers and families from around the world have driven down Peppertree Lane to experience Jewish life here, bringing fresh questions, energy, and ways of connecting each year.
And Camp Alonim has grown with them, always evolving so no season is quite like the last.
Jewish Values
From archery and rope courses to Shabbat celebrations and Hebrew song, Jewish culture runs through every part of the Alonim experience. By the time campers leave, Judaism becomes a lasting part of who they are.
Active Learning
With the freedom to schedule their own days, campers kick off every experience with a sense of independence and curiosity—learning to follow through, tackle new challenges, chase what excites them.
