The beautiful artwork displayed in our banner depicts a shtetl (village) scene, and was created by the late progressive labour artist Avrom Yanovsky for the Toronto Jewish Folk Choir's production of 'Oyfn Fidl' (On the Fiddle) in the early 1970's.

CAMP NAIVELT

"Fun Kemp tsu Shule, fun Shule tsu Kemp"

(From Camp to School, from School to Camp)

 

A haven of nature that's close to the city
Your backyard with birds, full of sunshine & trees.

A place of retreat for discussion so witty
Or just to relax, or for shooting the breeze.

Four generations enjoyed all its pleasures
Like take in a lecture or go on a hike.

Four generations have shared in its treasures–
They're open to seniors and youngsters alike.

What is Camp Naivelt?
Camp Naivelt is a family-oriented, secular Jewish summer community glued together with humanistic, pluralistic and progressive values. Located on 50 forested acres, unzer zumer haym (our summer home) is nestled in a picturesque spot on the banks of the Credit River in sunny Brampton, Ontario. Camp Naivelt is rich not only in natural beauty, but also in social and cultural history.

Camp Naivelt offers:

  • Cottages for short-term and seasonal rental
  • Extensive trails
  • A bird-watcher's paradise
  • Access to parkland, a swimming pool and nearby pick-your-own farms
  • Cultural, social and educational events throughout the summer
  • A safe environment for children, with various activities planned each season

UJPO membership is required and must be maintained in good standing in order to own a cottage. Transfers or sales of private cottages must be done through the UJPO office. The Camp Committee facilitates this process.
