Justice and Leadership: A Unique Summer Camp Experience 

Is your family looking for a Jewish overnight camp program with a social justice lens? 

Hevrah is Camp Newman’s month-long session for campers entering 10th and 11th grade, focused on social justice. Each summer Hevrah focuses on a specific issue. 2024 was about protecting against threats to democracy and 2023 focused on educational justice, particularly the written word. 2025’s theme will be determined closer to the summer based on current events.  

Campers spend the month learning about the issue – through the lens of history, current events and Judaism – as well as the different ways they can effect change through indirect service, direct service, and advocacy.  

Activities include in-camp and out-of-camp volunteer opportunities, lobbying, and leading educational programs for other Newman campers. And all the while, Hevrah campers still get the chance to participate in traditional camp activities like sports and arts. 

For summer 2025, Hevrah session takes place July 8 – August 3.
