As we look back on Kayitz 2025, we are filled with profound gratitude for each of you, our families, alumni, staff, supporters, and friends who make Camp Yavneh the vibrant kehillah (community) it is. It is our honor to share with you the 2025 Camp Yavneh Impact Report, a reflection of a summer and a year shaped by resilience, joy, growth, and the enduring strength of our community.
More than 500 campers from across the U.S. and around the world came together to form a community rooted in kindness, shared responsibility, and connection. Our 220 staff members, including nearly 50 from Israel, helped create a summer filled with friendship, learning, and Jewish joy.
This year’s Impact Report celebrates the generations who continue to carry Yavneh in their hearts, from alumni spanning eight decades, to staff who once walked our paths as campers, to beloved leaders like Estelle Gomolka, whose 50 summers on the Agam (waterfront) embody the very spirit of masoret m’dor l’dor (tradition from generation to generation). Stories like these were alive at our second annual Alumni Retreat and remind us just how deeply Yavneh continues to shape lives long after summers end.
