Camp Pembroke is an all-girls Jewish summer camp on Oldham Pond in Pembroke, Massachusetts. It was founded in 1935 by Eli & Bessie Cohen as the first of several summer camps they opened and funded as part of their mission to "strengthen the Jewish people through education and building Jewish community."[1] Camp Pembroke hosts 450 girls each summer. The camp acts as a sister camp to Camp Avoda and Camp Bauercrest.
There is a certain magic that is found at Camp Pembroke that is indescribable. A common quote used to try to portray to others what is is like to be a 'brokie' is "From the outside, you can't understand, and from the inside, you can't explain". The concept is similar to that of the secret garden. The friends made at Camp Pembroke are true summer sisters, and the bond between the girls is irreplaceable.
