What is Szarvas?

Szarvas is a miracle. A second home where everyone can be themselves.

Who would have thought that mixing so many languages and cultures, and ways of being Jewish would lead to such a strong and supportive community? But we are proof that we are strongest together. Our Jewishness bolsters us. We learn from each other. We push each other. We grow together.

Szarvas Camp is a 12-day international Jewish camp where campers from various countries come together to explore and celebrate their Jewish identity. The camp offers a diverse range of programs aimed at community building, learning, and fun. Lifelong friendships are formed here as participants discover the Jewish culture and traditions.

The camp offers numerous exciting and varied programs, including crafts, sports, music and dance activities, as well as opportunities to learn more about Jewish values, culture and traditions. Additionally, community programs, team-building games, discussions, group singing, and campfires are integral parts of camp life. Various projects, games, and competitions also add to the daily excitement.

These programs and many more opportunities await campers to help them learn new skills, make new friends, and gain a deeper understanding of their Jewish identity.
