TeeNageela, our fast-paced teen program for campers completing grades 8 & 9, provides the best of Camp Nageela, plus a special twist designed for teenagers. Teens experience accelerated fun while taking part in leadership training opportunities. Campers completing 10th grade enjoy all the great activities of TeeNageela while also taking the position of “Junior Staff”. They fill positions such as waiter/waitress or staff assistant and receive special privileges.

At Camp Nageela we strive to ensure healthy living through appropriate rest time, fluid intake and sunscreen protection stations. Well-balanced, nourishing and delicious Kosher meals and snacks are prepared daily. We are delighted to meet any special dietary needs your child may have. Campers and staff enjoy air-conditioned hotel-like accommodations and clean, spacious facilities. Our fully equipped infirmary is staffed with trained medical personnel, and our “Camp Mom” is available around the clock for camper care & “away from home mothering”.

Each summer, over 200 campers have the opportunity to engage their Jewish heritage and culture through exciting and meaningful informal discussion groups. In addition, we are happy to assist your child in preparing for his/her Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
