Waterfront
"Every summer that I come to camp, I find that I learn something new. The biggest thing I learned about myself this summer was that I am capable of doing a lake swim to Poyntelle and then back to Lewis Village." - Lindsay, 15
Welcome!
Welcome! Camp Poyntelle Lewis Village has been enriching the lives of campers as a premiere Jewish resident camp for over 60 years. We are very proud of all of our amazing traditions, beautiful facility, dedicated staff, core values and incredible culture.
- Wide variety of athletic, waterfront and arts programs for campers in 2nd-11th grades.
- Unique Program: Separate camps. Poyntelle for 2nd-7th grade campers, providing age-appropriate activities and programs. Lewis Village for 8th-11th grade campers, where activities and programs are more challenging and appropriate for teenagers.
- CPLV also comes together as one whole camp during special times like Shabbat.
- We do our very best to continue our relationship with our campers long after they leave the gates of their summer home.
