Acting with Your Heart
It is my first summer at camp, and the moment I walked through the door and saw all of the smiling faces, I knew I would have a great time! I knew I made the right choice coming to Harlam. All my friends care for me and I care for them.
It’s a Big Playground
It’s a big playground, with a big safety net built in, that allows kids opportunities to take risks, knowing they have the guidance and support of peers and staff there to assist them.
Chavurah Says Farwell to Their Campers Years
In the Chavurah village, every surface is covered with signatures messages from past campers. These represent the real meaning of camp: The people we have grown up with and the people who were here before us as campers and staff, made many memories just as we have. Now, we join together as a community to remember all of our loved ones who gave us so many memories.
To Chavurah: Camp is within You
Your experiences at Camp Harlam will always come with you. No matter where you find yourself or what you’re doing, you’ll take this summer, and all the summers, with you. I’m so proud of the people you are and the people you will become, and I can’t wait to see you again.

Thinking of Others
I didn’t know what to expect. When I started to unpack, I looked around the room for a familiar face, but I didn’t see any. When my bunkmate walked through the doors I was filled with glee. How kind she was, made me want to come to camp again.
I Am Nourished
How can you help nourish those around you that may have less than you? Can you practice and teach Acharayut, in either a physical or spiritual sense, with our friends around us?
Israel Day 2021
All in all it was a great day and our camp had the opportunity to celebrate our Mishlachat and the land of Israel. It was an important reminder that despite the complexity of the state of Israel, there still lays a copious amount of things to celebrate and discover
