Camp Szarvas

Szarvas Camp is a 12-day international Jewish camp where campers from various countries come together to explore and celebrate their Jewish identity. The camp offers a diverse range of programs aimed at community building, learning, and fun. Lifelong friendships are formed here as participants discover the Jewish culture and traditions.

Each summer at Szarvas has a guiding theme, a lens through which campers explore Judaism. This theme comes to life in a new way each day. The days build on each others, forming a Jewish story that leads campers naturally towards their own understanding of what Judaism means to them, and how they can apply it in their daily life. 

The camp is nestled on the banks of the beautiful Körös river in the peaceful resort town of Szarvas, Hungary. Modern recreational, housing and strictly kosher dining facilities are set amidst expansive landscaped grounds lined with ripe, fragrant fruit trees. The name Szarvas, pronounced “Sar Vash”, is Hungarian for “Deer”.
