A Jewish summer camp for young adults with soul.

About us.

Camp Neshama is a new retreat where you can relax, enjoy camp-style activities, nature, and an inspiring Shabbat experience with other Jewish young professionals.

Made possible by sponsorship from The Alevy Family, Camp Neshama launched on Labor Day Weekend in 2016 and we are back by popular demand.

Enjoy four days of spirited and fun programming, delicious meals, great indoor & outdoor activities, arts & crafts, and awesome people.

After a full day and evening of programming, sleep well in newly renovated hotel-style and cabin-style accommodations.

It’s a weekend that you will not want to miss, at a completely renovated and upgraded retreat center and camp nestled in the trees at 6,000 feet up in the San Bernardino Mountains.

Camp Neshama is brought to you by the team that created Jewlicious Festivals, Camp Jewlicious, Mountain High Shabbat, TikkunFest and other celebrations, and Pico Shul.

Applications reviewed on rolling basis and space is limited.

OUR TEAM

Situated on 80 acres of land at about 6,000 feet of elevation, the Camp Alevy at the Dovid Oved Retreat Center offers a full range of services, resources and accommodations. Virtually all structures are climate controlled for year-round use. All of our sports facilities have been recently upgraded (2015!) and are lit for evening play.

OUR CAMP

How it started…

Back in 2009 we saw adult summer camps starting to pop-up around the country. These retreats brought grown-ups back to relive (or for some the first time) all the fun they had as kids. Summer camp, and especially a Jewish summer camp, is one of the most magical and special environments to be found anywhere. These Jewish summer camps can sometimes achieve cult-like status, creating lifelong devotees. If one could live there year round, one might just try.
