Camp Tevya
Jewish overnight camp in New Hampshire offering a wide range of activities for campers aged 7-16.
▌ Editor's read Camp Tevya is an ACA-accredited overnight camp, with its accreditation valid through 2025, as evidenced by the ACA logo and link on their website's footer. The camp is part of Cohen Camps, a non-profit organization founded by Samuel and Anna P. Cohen, and has been operating for over 80 years, indicating a long-standing presence in youth camping. They explicitly state a staff-to-camper ratio of 1:4 on their 'Staff' page, demonstrating a commitment to supervision. Furthermore, the 'Staff' page also mentions that all staff undergo 'extensive background checks,' confirming a safety measure. The camp's program is clearly overnight, offering full-season options, and strongly integrates Jewish values and traditions into its daily activities and community building.

Who thrives here Ages 7–16
Camp Tevya is built for middle-school campers — an age where leadership tracks, deeper specialization, and identity exploration take over from generalist day-camp formats. overnight/sleepaway programs that thrive at this age publish a clear weekly progression rather than a rotating activity menu, and the staff-to-camper conversation usually matters more than the activity list.
