Cleveland, GA
We have developed a sequential program so that every year a camper returns to Camp Barney, he/she can look forward to participating in new programs, activities, trips, and artists-in-residence just for their age group. Different trips for each age group range from kayaking on the Chestatee River to tubing down the Chattahoochee to white water rafting down the Ocoee or Nantahala Rivers.

I can honestly say that I feel happiest when I am at camp, and that it has shown me how to be a better person in every way possible." — Jayme D., long-time Camp Barney camper and staff member
At Camp Barney, campers primarily remain with their cabin group and enjoy activities with their cabin mates. Camp Barney places a great emphasis on the group dynamic, supporting and playing together with counselors who provide continuity and the benefit of being aware of each child's needs. Several times a week, campers enjoy a Chugim or elective period.
Located in the North Georgia Mountains on 540 spectacular acres surrounding two private lakes, our beautiful facility includes two swimming pools, 60 camper cabins, a state-of-the-art health center, 11 high ropes activities, a 32-horse equestrian center, an open-air chapel, amphitheater, and so much more.
"I remain truly in awe of all that you do to constantly improve every year, knowing every face, building an amazing Jewish community, fostering a positive Jewish identity, and instilling confidence in us, the parents, that our kids are taken care of so well." — Erin and Lance C., Camp Barney parents
"Your staff allowed our daughter to be independent and confident with things she ordinarily would be apprehensive to try. They taught her life lessons that she will take with her forever. Thank you all for keeping her safe and happy and giving her experiences she will get nowhere else." — Ami and David E., Camp Barney parents
