History

Established in 1945.

Over 75 years ago, Eli and Bessie Cohen began a mission committed to strengthening the Jewish people through education and building Jewish community. They realized the power of the immersive experience of summer camp and its ability to engage, teach and develop children in an informal setting and founded Camp Pembroke in 1935, followed by two co-​educational camps, Tevya and Tel Noar, to reach even further into the community.

For nearly 40 years, Eli and Bessie managed the camps. Today their legacy continued with Eli’s son Arnold, wife Annebelle, and now grandson Jonathan running the camps. The mission is still to provide children with an exciting and traditional residential camp experience which instills Jewish identity and community.

Generations of children from a wide range of backgrounds have experienced this legacy at a Cohen Camp. They have created for themselves identification with community, Israel, and a lifetime of friendships and memories.
