Camp Airy has been in the business of making a difference in Jewish boys' lives for over 86 summers.  We are conveniently located in the spectacular Catoctin mountains, about 1 hour from the Baltimore and Washington metro areas.  Our experienced staff of college age counselors and adult educators (some are from Israel!) offer a wide variety of activities including Swim, Athletics & Fitness, Drama, Music, Outdoor Adventure (camping and pioneering, high ropes, climbing, caving, hiking) Adventure Trips (rafting, canoeing, kayaking, tubing, etc.), Crafts, and Ceramics, Video Production, Model Rocketry, Mountain Boarding, Biking and Skateboarding, Go Karts and Paintball.   

Airy campers participate in beautiful Friday night Shabbat services (with music, choir and lots of ruach!) in the Dining Hall prior to a traditional Shabbat dinner (with matzoh ball soup and all the fixin's!); Saturday morning services are held at our beautiful open-air theatre (partly in Hebrew, partly in English to make it accessible for everyone).  

Registration is now open for a variety of two and four week sessions, a specially designed Mini Camp for 7 and 8 year olds, and our one week Rookie Camp for new 7, 8 and 9 year oldsVisit our wonderful website to see our brand new Airy Video ---it really gives YOU the full camp picture---and for more information about the exciting summer your campers can have at Camp Airy.
