Jewish Camp Information
Jewish Camp Information
Experiencing summer at a Jewish camp is an important part of a Jewish child's life. There is absolutely nothing like the ruach (spirit) and kehilah (community) at Jewish camp! According to a 2011 study, Jewish camp builds Jewish identity unlike almost anything else. People who attend Jewish summer camp are:
- 21% more likely to feel that being Jewish is very important
- 45% more likely to attend synagogue at least once a month as an adult
Additionally, 70% of young Jewish leaders in their 20s and 30s attended Jewish summer camp as children.

welcome to the sAJ community
We’re a community that believes it’s possible to lead a 21st-century life that is deeply rooted in both Jewish tradition and contemporary civilization. Judaism helps us find meaning and inspiration as we seek to lead lives committed to spiritual growth, social justice, and building community. We welcome the richness that diversity brings to this community, where we learn about, struggle with, and even question our Judaism as we continue to "reconstruct" it for our times.
