Created by The Jewish Agency in 2024, Campers2Gether brings hundreds of Israeli teens affected by October 7 and the ensuing war to Jewish summer camps primarily in North America. Through the transformative summer camp experience, participating campers exchange perspectives, boost their resilience and form lasting connections while discovering the power of Jewish peoplehood.

At camp in the Poconos, Noga enjoyed building friendships, peaceful moments at the lake and a chance to get away from the everyday fears and impact of living on a Kibbutz in the North of Israel.
As a Campers2Gether participant, Itamar has enjoyed a transformative summer developing new friendships with North American Jewish teens and growing his self-confidence.
Kahal attended a summer camp in the U.S. through Campers2Gether, making new friends and enjoying the peace and quiet in nature, away from the stress and sirens back home in Israel.
Through Campers2Gether, Nouri has created lasting connections with American teens, shared about his life in Israel, and become a different person thanks to the program.
“After October 7, I went into a very deep depression. But here at camp, I feel like I’m blooming. Everything I was before October 7, all the pieces of myself, I’m starting to find them, to get back to who I was before the war. That’s what’s amazing about this experience.”
