URJ Camps

The Union for Reform Judaism and its 12 camps throughout North America are committed to the Health and Safety of every child entrusted to our care. Our concern for campers is realized in the creation of caring communities at each camp. The program at each camp endeavors to enrich and transform lives by strengthening Jewish identity, teaching Jewish knowledge, instilling Jewish values and cultivating lifelong friendships within a vibrant and fun community of living Reform Judaism. All of our camps are accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA) and the Ontario Camping Association (OCA) in Canada. Find a URJ Camp in your area.
