nY DAY CAMP
MAY 29, 2025
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 2025 has been moving at full speed with no stops, you deserve a break. So grab a color war outfit and join Jewish communal professionals from across Greater New York for a daylong gathering at summer camp! NY 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 in between -- NY 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 New York's professional community and gain inspiration, new skills, and a sense of renewal in the process. Over 1,000 professionals in New York have experienced the magic of Trybal firsthand. Now it’s your turn!
THE COUNSELORS
Join distinguished leaders from across New York City, Westchester, and Long Island 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. NY Day Camp's 2025 featured staff include these leaders and more to be announced soon!

GLOSSARY
BREAKFAST BAR
Enjoy a delicious breakfast spread and gourmet coffee bar. Don't forget to pick up your swag bag filled with goodies.
OPENING CEREMONY
Meet the staff, get down at the silent disco ice breaker, and get to know your bunkmates (aka future besties) for the day!
CHUGIM (ELECTIVES)
Choose your own adventure by signing up for three different elective blocks. Explore a new skill, rediscover an an old hobby, or just chill.
"EVENING" PROGRAM
It'll be evening somewhere. NY's Got Talent. Maccabiah (Color War). Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader. A five-senses soirée. What's it going to be?! You'll receive all the info for this all-group immersive experience pre-camp.
BUNK TIME
You'll be assigned to a small cohort who will be your "camp fam" throughout the day. When you register, choose to be with colleagues from your org, people in similar roles or experience, or just anyone!
WHO's it FOR?
Do you work at Jewish organization in New York City, Long Island, or Westchester? This is for you. 👍🏻 Are you burned out? (there, we said it). This is definitely for you. 🔥 Was your OOO last used in 2024 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 org, this is for you. ✨
Whether you're at a Hillel, Federation, synagogue, day school, summer camp, 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 the city? This is also for you! ⚡️
It’s also for your team. We deeply believe in cross-functional collaboration. That's why we’re lowering the price for colleagues who register from the same org. It’s like going on a team offsite that you don’t have to plan! 🌴

In your registration form, you'll have a chance to share your preference for a bus pickup location. We also encourage people to carpool with one another. Whether you have four extra seats or need to hitch a ride, we'll help coordinate by sending out a ride-share document after registration.
