Nestled in the foothills of the magnificent Pocono Mountains in rural Pennsylvania, Camp Harlam provides the finest in recreational and educational activities for Reform Jewish youth. Established in 1958, Camp Harlam has developed a strong tradition of success and excellence based on a highly skilled staff dedicated to the spiritual, physical, social and psychological well-being of each child. 

Harlam’s site covers approximately 400 acres with the current population of about 550 campers each session and a staff of over 200. The Camp Harlam Family consists of smaller communities within junior camp, senior camp, and the CIT program. Junior and senior camps are further broken down into coed units based on the age and grade to create a more intimate and age-appropriate experience for our campers.

Staff consists of college-age and older men and women, many of whom are alumni of Camp Harlam. At least two counselors and a specialist are assigned to each cabin. They work with non-cabin staff, rabbis, cantors and educators in creating the diverse and unique environment known as Camp Harlam.
