Health & Safety Concerns at Forefront of URJ Camps’ Response
to Flu
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 Candada.
Please know that the URJ
Camps are committed to every child. Contact the URJ Camp in
your area now to see if arrangements are possible. Do not
take this summer off. No one should be shy about asking
for assistance – everyone knows it’s tough out there.
Everyone is being touched
by our nation’s economic crisis in one way or another. In
difficult times like these, our children – well attuned to
what is going on in the world, especially what’s going on in
their own homes – need camp. They need the security, the
community and the spiritual nourishment that camp provides.
They need to spend time in an immersive environment created
just for them. And they, too, need a break from the stress.
We are committed to every
child, please let them know camp is there for them.
