When was the last time you left work AND said “That was so much fun”?
It's been a looong few years. Whether you've been working hard to make the world a better place or feel like 2026 has been moving at full speed with no stops, you deserve a break. So grab a color war outfit and join over 150 colleagues from Jewish organizations across Greater New York for a daylong gathering at summer camp! Boston Day Camp is designed to ignite professionals with new ideas, inspire curiosity, and build connections.
This isn’t a conference. It’s an experiential professional development opportunity unfound anywhere else. From hands-on electives to creative community-building -- with surprise & delight sprinkled in between -- Boston Day Camp invites you to recharge purposefully with colleagues in a playful environment. Whether you sign up with your team or on your own, come strengthen your connection to Boston's professional community and gain inspiration, new skills, and a sense of renewal in the process.

THE COUNSELORS
Join distinguished leaders from across Greater Boston for an experiential, camp-style gathering that offers you a unique platform to meet and learn from colleagues across the field. No matter your professional role or background, you’ll walk away with inspiration, tools, and modalities that can profoundly connect your teams and engage your community. And, maybe… a paper plate award. Our incredible 2026 counselors and faculty will be posted soon!
WHO's it FOR?
Do you work at a Jewish organization in Greater Boston? This is for you. 👍🏻 Are you feeling burned out? (there, we said it). This is definitely for you. 🔥 Was your OOO last used in 2025 or earlier? This is for you. 🗓 Are you a seasoned executive with decades of experience? Mazels. This is still for you. 🏆 Do you need to be Jewish to attend? Nope. As long as you work at a Jewish communal org in Greater Boston, this is for you. ✨
Whether you're at a Hillel, synagogue, day school, summer camp, social services agency, foundation, think tank, start-up or are just brushing up your resumé… this is for you. Work remotely for a national organization but live in Boston? Boston Day Camp is also for you! ⚡️
It’s also for your team. We believe deeply in cross-functional collaboration and the power of deepening relationships outside of our normal contexts. That's why we’re lowering the price for organizations that send multiple colleagues. It’s like going on a team offsite that you don’t have to plan! So set that org-wide OOO and join us at camp!

By far, though, the most compelling thing about the day was that I was free: Free to play, free to explore, free to literally skip from activity to activity without a care in the world. I cannot even remember the last time I felt that way.
