Our Leaders:

Camp Magen was created by 3 members of Elite IDF Brigades. The vision for Camp Magen was born because of the ever-changing world we live in outside of Israel. We believe that every Jew around the world should be proud of their heritage and will not feel the need to hide their identity because of the ever-growing anti-semitic atmosphere. Camp Magen in Hebrew translates to “Camp Defense”. We wanted to make sure that all our camp graduates will leave us with a new sense of awareness, the tools to deal with any situation, Leadership, and confidence
