Welcome to

CAMP BETH EMET DAY CAMP When we choose a camp we don’t always think, “What does this mean for my child in a year, or ten years from now?” We are thinking about the now. This summer we encourage you to think long term. Let Temple Beth Emet be home to your child for many years to come. By choosing Camp Beth Emet you are building your camper’s commitment and connection to Judaism and to an amazing community. Camp Beth Emet’s staff focuses on all of the little details. Our goal is to recognize each camper’s individuality and to make sure each one is comfortable and happy each day. Watch your camper open his/her mind to exploring new activities, new friendships and new creative experiences. We only get one summer each year, let’s make this summer the BEST!

Each summer we focus on a different social action project. At Camp Beth Emet we strive to give our campers great experiences, as well as teach them great ways to help our community and the world around us. We plan our social action project with our campers and then make it happen together!

Social Action:

It is not what one says, but what one does, that makes all the difference in the world.

Welcome to

teen travel camp

Thank you for considering Temple Beth Emet Teen Travel Camp as your summer camp destination.

Over the years, we have spoken with hundreds of campers, their families and our staff, asking “What is it about Teen Travel Camp that keeps you coming back?”

“I had the best summer of my life”

“Travel Camp is a place where I can be myself”

“I made so many friends”

“TBE is the place where I belong”

It is truly humbling to know that TBE Teen Travel Camp has meant so much to so many!

“It’s my summer home”

Teen Travel Camp is geared for the older camper. Each day campers experience trips to local destinations enjoying South Florida and all it has to offer. Join us as well on a four day trip to Tampa and an eight day trip to the south, visiting Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee. We aim to help each and every child develop character, learn valuable life skills, make friends and discover new interests in a safe environment.

We look forward to sharing our summer with your teen!!!
