Specialties
The Eli & Bessie Cohen Camps enrich children’s lives by encouraging Jewish youth to be comfortable and confident in themselves so that they can connect positively with others and the world they live in. We are a family of Jewish summer camps, the co-ed and nut-free Camp Tel Noar in Hampstead, NH, the coed and spirited Camp Tevya in Brookline, NH, and the all-girls sisterhood of Camp Pembroke in Pembroke, MA.
Our camps are communities of positive role models who help our youth explore their Jewish identity and experience the joy of their Jewish heritage. Our campers and counselors leave camp determined to sustain Judaism and the Jewish People, and are committed to contributing responsibly to their world.
History
Established in 1935.
Over 80 years ago, Eli and Bessie Cohen began a mission committed to strengthening the Jewish people through education and building Jewish community.
That legacy continues to thrive in three dynamic Jewish summer camps in New England and a transformational leadership and Israel experience program: Camp Pembroke, Camp Tel Noar and Camp Tevya.
Eli and Bessie believed in young people and in their Jewish heritage, and felt that Jewish education in all its forms was an important means of strengthening the Jewish community.
To that end, they founded Camp Pembroke, an all-girl’s overnight camp in 1935. Camp Tevya, a «fresh air» camp for poor inner-city Jewish youth, was founded in 1940. Camp Tel Noar, a camp for college students and young adults to spend a meaningful vacation imbued with Zionist spirit, was founded in 1945. The Dor L’Dor Leadership Program, a summer that combines a life-changing Israel travel experience with hands on leadership training, took its current form in 1996.
