Description

For a countless number of kids who've spent their summers with us, Golden Slipper Camp evokes happy memories. For nearly 60 years, thousands of children and teenagers have experienced first hand the warmth, traditions, spirit, and fun that make Golden Slipper Camp  well, Golden Slipper Camp. And no wonder. Golden Slipper is a safe, nurturing environment where the milestones called "growing up" take place.

Nestled in the breath-taking Pocono Mountains, Golden Slipper Camp feels special the moment you walk in. With charming cabins clustered in villages and nestled in the woods, you get a sense that life-changing experiences take place here. And they do.

But Golden Slipper is more than just woods and cabins. At the heart of this magical camp is a team of counselors, instructors, and staff (led by Camp Director Tom O'Neill), dedicated to the enjoyment, fun, health and safety, and development of campers in their care.

But make no mistake; our campers contribute to the engaging spirit of Golden Slipper just by being themselves. Though the Camp is rooted in Jewish tradition, Golden Slipper Campers are a diverse bunch, in culture and faith, living primarily in Eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey - particularly Philadelphia and its suburbs.

We pride ourselves on the undivided attention we give every camper. It's an atmosphere of fun, adventure, friendship, and inspiration that lets kids be kids. For some, it's their first experience being away from home. For others, it's a rare opportunity to experience nature. Whatever their background or experience, each day at Golden Slipper is a new opportunity to learn, explore, and share. Fostering these experiences is how Golden Slipper Camp becomes a lasting part of kids' lives.
