About HERZL CAMP ASSOCIATION

Herzl Camp is an established overnight Jewish summer camp (founded 1946) that operates a traditional residential program on roughly 150 acres on Devils Lake in Webster, Wisconsin. The organization provides multi-week camping sessions rooted in pluralistic Jewish identity, Zionist values, outdoor recreation, and leadership training for children and teens from the United States and Israel. Herzl Camp also maintains a supporting Herzl Camp Foundation to steward donor resources and ensure the camp’s long-term sustainability. In recent years the organization has continued to run summer seasons, award internal staff and camper honors, expand alumni recognition programs, and run donor-driven financial aid to help hundreds of children attend each summer.
