The Jewish UnCamp is an inclusive, open-minded program where Jewish teens girls, 15-19, explore Judaism, expand their minds and meet their new best friends from around the world. Hike the great outdoors, paint to your heart’s content, go kayaking or drum with new friends, try your hand at ceramics, do slam poetry and comedy improv, and get your handwriting analyzed. Sample the nightly “Question Box” session: What does it mean to be a Jew today and why should I care? What should we do about antisemitism? What does Judaism say about anxiety and depression, love and marriage, technology and culture, gender issues and world peace? What are our responsibilities to ourselves and to others?

Camp Biluim is Canadian Young Judaea’s National Leadership Institute. Each summer, a new group of over 100 sixteen-year-old campers join us from all across Canada for a transformative summer focused on personal growth, leadership development, and an exploration of their Jewish identity and connection to Israel. It is our philosophy at Camp Biluim that everyone has the potential to become a great leader, and that each and every camper has something unique to bring to our “chevra” (society). Through a variety of both staff and camper-led programming, skill development activity periods, and “hadracha” (leadership) sessions, our goal is to ensure that every camper enjoys a transformative experience.

Camp Solelim is a sleepover camp designed exclusively for fourteen and fifteen year olds.

Our dedicated staff provide campers with opportunities to celebrate what makes them unique and to explore what it means to be part of a community. At Solelim, campers learn to be their best selves, try new things, increase their independence and grow as leaders. Nestled in beautiful northern Ontario, campers foster lifelong meaningful connections with Israel, Jewish values and each other.

At Camp J, your camper will get to experience summer-time favorites, like sports, art, swim instruction, weekly field trips, and a whole lot more, led by our highly trained and selectively chosen staff. We welcome campers from all backgrounds, and emphasize Jewish values, like tzedekah (giving back), kehillah (community), and givun (diversity). We pick one value as our theme each summer, weaving it into our curriculum, and give campers the opportunity to practice it. Our campers also get to experience Israeli culture firsthand with our “oshlichim,” young emissaries from Israel, who teach about Israel using a wide variety of activities which celebrate Jewish heritage.

Teen camp or TAC, is a place for campers to thrive while receiving a clear structure and set of boundaries but enough freedom and flexibility to explore new interests and have the opportunity to step up and take on positions of responsibility.

We challenge our TAC campers to think about new ideas, to put themselves outside of their comfort zone and to gain an appreciation for helping and benefiting others. Campers leave completely inspired by the opportunities they have explored and the new ideas they have been exposed to.

Our camp’s focus is on teen leadership, service learning, and international teen tour experiences.
