Airy Louise Camps

Airy Louise is Two Camps and One Legacy. Built upon nearly 100 years of experience and tradition, Camps Airy & Louise provide Jewish children with a fun, creative and adventurous summer experience that promotes self-growth, leadership, and a positive sense of Jewish identity – all while making friendships that last a lifetime.

Our Beliefs
Bringing Campers Together
Our single-gender environment allows campers to freely express themselves and develop life skills centered around the positive values of a pluralistic Jewish identity. Learn more about how our community brings campers together and forges bonds that last a lifetime.

Giving Back. Help Send Children to Camp
Our founders, Aaron and Lillie Straus, had a vision that every Jewish child be given the opportunity to enjoy summer camp, regardless of their families’ ability to pay. Help us bring their vision to life with a 100% tax-deductible contribution to the Awesome Fund.
