What Kids Are Saying:

"I love camp sooooo much! I look forward to it all year long. I can’t wait to go back!"

"It has great activities, amazing counselors, cool and diverse kids, and there’s never a dull moment. You’re never bored, there’s no time to be homesick and you’re always with friends."

"It’s a great Jewish environment and a wonderful place to make friendships. I’ve really enjoyed having counselors from Israel, too."

"I’m always telling my friends at home about our camp. There are endless choices of activities – I especially like the Clubs program -- and the counselors are awesome!"

"Camp Young Judaea is amazing! YJ teaches you how to become more independent. And the best part is that you have FUN!"

"I loved waterskiing, A&C, my bunk, my counselors, the food, swimming, sports, and song sessions. Socials, trips, and evenings out were also great!"

"CYJ is the best camp ever! I love the camp and always find fun things to do. I really don’t know what I’d do with myself if I didn’t have my summers at YJ to look forward to!"

What Parents Are Saying:

"What my children experience on a day-to-day basis at Camp Young Judaea can’t be put into words. They have gotten such a sense of themselves and their Judaism and have developed friendships for a lifetime."

"Strong relationships are formed at this camp. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The camp works hard to make it an all-inclusive and safe environment while having fun."

"My daughter loves the freedom of choice that the clubs program offers. It’s a great place for a child to experience guided independence."

"Last year was our son’s first experience and it was totally positive! He proudly refers to CYJ as ‘my camp’ on a regular basis. From our point of view, we could see that the camp is well-organized and supervised by people who love and understand children (and parents). Our contact with the counselors and staff made us feel confident that he would have fun, learn new skills, be safe, and enjoy the Jewish and other programming."
