Adventure awaits at Adamah Adventure Camp! Located on the grounds of Pearlstone’s Retreat Center in Reisterstown, Maryland, we are the premier summer camp of Adamah, the largest Jewish environmental organization in North America.

Explore 180+ acres of farm and forest, take care of our chickens and sheep, stay cool in our three pools and splash pad, play in the creek, practice fire- and shelter-building, identify wild edible plants, tend and harvest in our educational garden, try our three-story high ropes course, zipline across the lake and become protectors of the Earth with Jewish wisdom as a guide.

Day Camp is for incoming kindergarteners through eighth graders! Featuring Theme Weeks, “Choose Your Own Adventure” electives and Shabbat Party, it offers campers sustainable, organic FUN! Families can sign up by the week, and we offer multi-week and sibling discounts.
