With the summer countdown officially underway, final preparations are in full swing at Camp L’man Achai. The camp is gearing up to welcome campers back to its stunning grounds in Andes, New York, in the upper Catskills Mountains.

Known for combining sports and outdoor programs with a warm, non-judgmental Jewish environment, L’man Achai is ready to take its legacy of a “Heritage of Happy Campers” to new heights this year.

A cornerstone of CLA’s success has long been its foundation of dedicated married staff and families who live on-site and return from summer to summer, along with all the amazing Bochurim they create a wholesome, stable atmosphere year to year.

In line with this tradition, the camp is thrilled to announce that Rabbi Daniel Namdar is returning as the Head Counselor of the Teens Division! A veteran leader of the Teens program who is currently on Shlichus in Tenafly, NJ, Daniel will be rejoining the staff along with his family. The camp is excited to have his expertise and passion back at the helm. He will be joining Senior Head Counselor of the main camp, Rabbi Levi Gajer, who has been coming to camp with his family for many years.

Camp L’man Achai is uniquely equipped to provide a warm, growth-oriented environment for boys from all backgrounds. If you know a boy who would thrive in a camp that beautifully balances adventure with an inspiring, non-judgmental approach to Yiddishkeit, please reach out to the camp. CLA specializes in giving every camper a place to belong.

“Our staff is hand-selected for their extraordinary devotion,” says Camp Director Rabbi Yitzchok Steinmetz. “They make sure every single boy feels at home, builds confidence, and discovers new talents.”

“I’m the biggest fan of Camp L’man Achai. The work they do is incredible. I’ve seen firsthand what effect it had on the kids I sent from my community,” says Rabbi Levi Shemtov, Shliach in Riverdale, NY.

Registration is closing fast, with a few spots left.
