Inspired by the International Rescue Committee's program in Seattle, Washington, Camp Nefesh was founded by a teenager in 2018 to give the Summer Camp experience to Refugee kids. Camp Nefesh is a teen run and led 501(c)(3) that works to provide a safe, fun space for refugee children to learn, play, grow, and meet new friends.
