Love Food? Then Dig Into New York
A Summer. A City. A Camp Like No Other.
Join other teens for an amazing sleepaway camp experience that celebrates creativity, social responsibility and Jewish values.

If you're a foodie, then New York is your ultimate laboratory. Top chefs are treated like rock stars in the Big Apple. And at Passport NYC, campers in our Culinary Arts intensive are totally immersed in New York's colorful food scene—doing, learning and being part of the big city's culinary mix.
Passport NYC will get you inside New York's best kitchens, letting you cook with master chefs while you and sample the ethnic rainbow of flavors that make New York a food mecca.
You'll also connect food with social and environmental responsibility. Like meeting farmers and experiencing organic and local fare first hand at Greenmarket NY. Or cooking at a local soup kitchen or supplying meals to people who are really in need.
Satisfy a passion for good food, and an interest in doing good—with Passport NYC's Culinary Arts intensive.
