Unplug. Connect. Grow. Welcome to Surprise Lake Camp, which generations of campers ages 7-15 call home. SLC is the nation’s longest-running Jewish sleepaway camp—and the starting point for lifelong friendships, spectacular adventures, skills, confidence, and warm community. We can’t wait to welcome you here! SLC offers many options for first-time campers: in addition to our regular 4- and 8-week sessions, you can try camp for a day at Rookie Day, or sign up for a shorter session. We offer tours and home visits all year.
