Hiking, biking, water-tubing, kayaking and owl watching. We have thousands of years of Jewish wisdom to tap into so ask any question you want � about true love, Jewish medical ethics, the human psyche, the nature of the soul, what do Jews believe, where does morality come from, why kosher, what do dreams mean, faith, free will, reincarnation, where was G-d during the Holocaust, what�s Shabbat for, what's the key to happiness, what about other religions, why do bad things happen to good people...and anything else on your mind. This isn't someone else's agenda, it's yours.

YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: The Jewish Un-Camp has weekends during the school year that are mini-versions of the summer program, and reunions for alum.
OTHER CAMP INFO: The Jewish UnCamp is your chance to explore Judaism's take on life's big questions. What does it mean to be a Jew today and why should we care? How should we respond to anti-semitism? What does Jewish wisdom contribute to discussions on technology, social issues, interpersonal relationships, world peace? What, if anything, should we do with that information - and how?
Meet girls from all over the world! Generous SCHOLARSHIPS.
