Camp Poyntelle Lewis Village has been enriching the lives of campers as a premier Jewish residential summer camp for over 60 years. With strong traditions, a beautiful facility and dedicated staff, we offer campers the opportunity to grow, learn and have a great time every summer. We offer a wide variety of athletic, waterfront, nature/ropes and arts programs for campers in 2nd-11th grades.
One of our most unique features is in our overall structure. Camp Poyntelle Lewis Village is split into two campuses on either side of our beautiful, 70-acre private lake: Poyntelle for 2nd-7th grade campers and Lewis Village for 8th-11th grade campers, where activities and programs are more challenging and appropriate for teenagers. Our lake is at the heart of camp, offering activities from waterskiing, wake boarding and tubing to our color war rope burn and our weekly Shabbat celebration on the waters’ edge.
Ryan joins us with 22 years of residential camp management experience. He began his professional career as an 11th grade English teacher and a high School Football and Lacrosse coach. However, his childhood memories of his summers at a Jewish residential Camp in Upstate NY kept calling to him. He began working the summers as a counselor, Group Leader and Head Counselor for Trail’s End Camp, a prestigious, privately owned residential camp in Pennsylvania. Before long this became his full-time career and passion. For the better part of the past 21 years Ryan has served as the full-time Associate Director of Trail’s End Camp, managing the daily program and all operational logistics. Ryan is also credited with reinventing their Teen program, resulting in a 150% increase in its enrollment.
