Overview
Creating lifelong memories and fostering a sense of belonging, Camp Poyntelle Lewis Village has been more than just a summer escape for over six decades. This jewel of a camp has matured into one of the finest Jewish resident camps nationwide, thanks to its renewed facilities, passionate staff, and values-driven approach.
The magic of this camp lies in its range: a cornucopia of athletically inclined activities—from baseball to volleyball—and exploratory adventures such as hiking, canoeing, and environmental learning. For sporty spirits and adventure seekers alike, the camp's diverse offerings serve up a slice of fun for every camper spanning grades 2 to 11.
A notable charm here is the camp's dual identity. This isn't just a quirky quirky marketing spin but a thoughtful division to cater to different age groups. Younger campers (grades 1-7) find their fun in Poyntelle, filled with age-appropriate activities. Conversely, Lewis Village, catering to those in grades 8-11, offers activities that nudge at excitement's edge. Harmoniously, the two halves unite for special moments—such as Shabbat—forming a delightful meld at Poyntelle Lake.
Beyond its scheduled activities, this Camp aims to provide campers with a medley of benefits. It paints a joyful smile on every camper's face, bolsters their independence, cultivates their respect for others, and instills a healthy approach towards competition. All these, while creating a treasure chest of memories and friendships.
Above all, Camp Poyntelle Lewis Village combines the thrill of adventure with the warmth of camaraderie, much like a summer-flavored ice-cream cone: irresistibly delicious on an engage-as-you-please canvas of fun. Their motto? A simple yet compelling recipe: Smile, laugh, and have FUN. And they surely deliver on that promise.
