Camp Overview
Camp Harlam is one of the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) overnight camps around the country (and one in Canada). Camp Harlam opened in 1958 and has grown to its present size with a 300-acre facility, a population of approximately 550 campers each session, and a staff of over 225 exceptional role models. The Camp Harlam family consists of smaller communities within Junior Camp, Senior Camp, and the Gesher (Counselor in Training) Program. Junior and Senior Camps are further broken down into units based on a child’s school grade to create a more intimate and age-appropriate experience for our campers.

Staff Time Off
Each staff member is given two 30 hour days off per session (four total throughout the summer). For each day off rotation, Camp Harlam provides free transportation to Philadelphia or New York City. Additionally, staff members have nights out scheduled during the week where they can go out of camp with other staff members who have cars or take provided bus/van transportation to local destinations, convenience stores, eateries, etc. There are also at least two out-of-camp staff programs that Camp Harlam sponsors that take all staff members on fun, engaging trips to local destinations.
