What does your son want from camp?
Boys want continuous excitement, exhilarating activities, and round the clock fun! Your son also wants an outstanding program where he can develop his talents, forge lifelong friendships, and experience the magic of a summer that he’ll never forget.
What do you want from camp?
Parents want a wholesome Torah environment, led by experienced professional mechanchim, where middos and recreation go hand in hand. You also want a “chevra” whose values and hashkafos mirror your own enabling your son to thrive and grow during the crucial summer months.
Launched in 2020 as a small traveling camp to give boys a much-needed dose of normalcy during the pandemic, Camp Lemala was an instant hit. The immediate success of this pilot program prompted a parental outcry for more of the achdus, ruach and personal growth that are the characteristics this camp was built on. And so, on a scenic 100+ acre property in the Pocono Mountains, Camp Lemala opened its doors….
Give your son a summer that truly is Lemala – “Above & Beyond!”
Join the Camp Lemala family, let us welcome your son to his summer home away from home!

Rabbi Yitzchok Spiegel
Camp Director
With more than two decades of camping under his belt and a wealth of hands-on classroom experience as a 7th grade Rebbe at Yeshiva Darchei Torah, Rabbi Spiegel refused to let the pandemic deprive his talmidim of their much needed summer vacation.
His vision for camp is a place where middos, learning, Hashkafa, sports, fun and Ruach come together. This was realized so successfully that parents and campers clamored for more.
