Camp Speers-Eljabar

Camp Speers-Eljabar was founded in 1950 was founded in 1948 to provide the first inter-racial overnight camp in the YMCA system. What began as a summer only camp has grown to a year-round program serving close to 10,000 children and families each year, most from northern New Jersey. We remain true to our founding spirit by promoting diversity across the racial, religious and socio-economic lines, that divide most New Jersey communities today.
