Please note that we have a new URJ regional camp – Jacobs Camp in Utica, MS.
If you are already a GUCI family, of course you will not be required to
switch camps, but over the course of the next few years our youth
group, MiTY,
will become based out of Jacobs Camp instead of GUCI. That said, if
you are new to considering sleep-away Jewish camping or are ready to
explore your options, please visit the Jacobs Camp website to learn more
about this amazing community: http://jacobs.urjcamps.org
We are looking forward to hosting Jacobs Camp’s Assistant Director, Gary Brandt, on
Sunday, November 24 both during and after our Family Service,
so that he can share important information and answer any questions you
may have. Please plan to join us at 9:30 AM for the service and then
remain for our special parents-only
session with Gary at 10:30 AM. Current Jacobs parents Debbie McCormick
and Jodi Stout will also be available to discuss their positive
experiences.
Jacobs is offering a $1,000 incentive grant to
any first-time Jacobs campers. Additionally, families considering a 3.5
week session may be eligible for another $1,000 discount through the
OneHappyCamper grants offered here:

The OneHappyCamper grants apply to many other camps, including the URJ’s 6 Points Sports Academy in
Greensboro, NC for children entering grades 4 to 11
http://sports.urjcamps.org/index.cfm?.
The Rabbis and Julie Greenberg are happy to help
families navigate the exploration and application processes for
whichever camp may be the best fit for your family. Regardless of where
your children may attend, we are certain of the
long-lasting impact that sleep-away camping has on forming and
strengthening positive Jewish identities for students of all ages.
