With summer camps in New York State in limbo due to coronavirus restrictions and Canada not allowing for summer camps to operate, a new option was created for Chabad boys, COLlive.com has learned.
Two Crown Heights schools, Oholei Torah and Lubavitcher Yeshiva, have teamed up to open an overnight camp this summer for students in grades 5 to Mesivta.
Together, they have secured state of the art campgrounds for up to 500 boys in Oxford in Chester County, Pennsylvania, a 3-hour drive from Crown Heights.
The grounds include basketball courts, golf courses, lakes, pools, adventure courses, laser tag, Go Karts and more.
“We are lucky to work with incredible camp directors Rabbi Yisroel Levertov and Rabbi Yisroel Cohen,” they informed parents.
The schools have hired the staff who have been hired for Camp Gan Israel of Montreal which will not be opening this summer, as reported on COLlive.com.
All bochurim who are enrolled in Yeshivas Kayitz Kingston (YKK), the summer yeshiva program under the auspices of Oholei Torah, will automatically be enrolled in this camp, they said.

Yasher Koach! This is called taking responsibility for students. Very proud of our community. May you be blessed!
Well done!
How nice would it be if the girls schools could do the same…
May you go from strength to strength ! I hope the price is As affordable as possible. The children who need it most are most often not able to go . Especially the middle class / working poor category . May it be a happy safe summer for all
Where in Pennsylvania?
Spectacular news
That’s what you get when you have one amazing super Capable, dedicated, and talented Administrator running both schools!!!
Who is running both schools?
The grounds look stunning! I hope they make this a long term camp
It’s usually a different camp which isn’t opening just this summer. But really looks amazing! Lucky boys
Still would send my kid to an established camp but with all the kids who can’t make it in to those this seems like a great plan B
It would be amazing if we could get real pictures of the place!
the place looks huge! im really looking forward!
Best director ever!!!
