As part of the URJ, Congregation Beth Emeth recommends URJ Jewish Camps! For over 70 years, URJ camps have been creating magical summers filled with fun, friendship, and Jewish learning.

Here's why URJ Camps are the perfect fit for your child:

  • Safe & Fun Environment: URJ Camps offer beautiful locations, top-notch facilities, and caring staff who ensure a safe and nurturing environment for your child.

  • Jewish Values in Action: Each camp program is infused with Jewish culture and traditions. Your child will explore their heritage in a fun and engaging way, building a strong Jewish identity.

  • Unforgettable Activities: From sports and arts to adventure programs and social action projects, there's something for every child to love at URJ Camps!

  • Lifelong Friendships: Camp is a place to make lasting connections with other Jewish kids who share similar values and interests.
