    Overview

    Habonim Dror Camp Galil is MORE than just an average Jewish summer camp. We've got sports, swimming, arts and crafts, songs, campfires and special days just like any other camp, but there is an indefinable element of FUN in everything that happens during the summer. At Camp Gail we instill Jewish values and build Jewish identity while teaching leadership skills and empowering campers to be social justice activists.

    Camp Galil is set in the beautiful fields and forests of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, about one hour from both Philadelphia, New York City, and most New Jersey addresses. Serving the Greater Philadelphia Jewish Community for over 65 years, the staff (tzevet) of Galil has and continues to be dedicated to our campers (chanichim) and guarantees them fun, safe and memorable summers as well as year-round activities!

    Campers play sports, tackle high and low ropes courses, swim, perform, garden, make art, and go on field trips. They soak up Jewish culture through Israel education, fun Hebrew language activities, Israeli folk dancing, and a spiritual Shabbat experience that begins with welcoming the Shabbat together and ends with a camp-wide havdallah under the stars. Campers also collaborate on a work project that they choose at the beginning of the session.
