At URJ Camp Newman’s summer camp, we’re building a foundation for a vibrant Jewish life. Led by experienced staff and Jewish professionals, we offer a plethora of traditional and specialty summer sessions from 3 days to 8 weeks at our home amongst the redwood trees in the hills of Santa Rosa, CA. Campers currently in 2nd-11th grades create community within their cabins, as a part of an age-group cohort and together with the full camp community. Days at camp include individual choice from an abundant mix of activities like archery, circus arts, martial arts, splashing in the pool and flying down the waterslide, tons of sports like pickleball, basketball, soccer and ultimate frisbee, fine and performing arts, all within our joyful, Jewish community. Shabbat is the highlight of our week complete with music, Israeli dancing, delicious food and stunning sunsets. At camp, we create the world as we want it to be – more inclusive, more kind, more joyful – and we learn what it takes to be a mensch and go out into the world to make it a better place. We build friendships that last a lifetime and have a TON of fun! And all staff are guided by a philosophy of C.A.R.E.: Community, Acceptance, Role modeling, and Each & Every camper’s uniqueness, creating a space of true belonging.

*We welcome transgender, intersex, non-binary and gender-non conforming campers

Camp Moshava Alevy is dedicated to fostering a deep appreciation and love for Israel among all members of its camp community, with the ultimate goal of encouraging Aliyah. Central to this mission is the ideology of Torah Va’Avodah and Religious Zionism, as championed by Bnei Akiva. This philosophy, emphasizing the integration of Torah values with active contribution to society, informs every aspect of camp life.

Through the lens of Torah Va’Avodah, the camp highlights the importance of interpersonal relationships, social justice, and community-building within the framework of Torah and Halacha. Camp Moshava Alevy seeks to nurture the social, emotional, intellectual, and religious development of its members in an engaging and enjoyable camping environment.
