URJ Camp Newman

Inspiring a love of Judaism … through the adventure, friendships, accepting community, and joy of summer camp!

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 7.5 weeks at the beautiful bay-side campus of Cal Maritime. 2nd-12th graders choose from an abundant mix of activities and sports, experience the magic of Judaism and Shabbat, visit our Santa Rosa home for outdoor adventure and challenge courses, learn what it takes to be a mensch, 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.

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