Camp Shomria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Camp Shomria is the name used by several Jewish summer camps associated with the Hashomer Hatzair Progressive Zionist youth movement in North America. At present Hashomer Hatzair North America operates two Camp Shomrias, one at Perth, Ontario which has been operating since the late 1950s and takes campers from Canada and parts of the United States and an older camp at Liberty, New York in the Catskills that was founded in the 1940s. Since 2003, Camp Shomria Liberty has included Israeli Arabs, Israeli Jews and Beduoins amongst its roster of campers in an attempt to break down barriers between Israeli Jews and Arabs. [1].
