Spring Camp

 

A Weekend just for Campers

in grades 1 – 7

 

March 1-3, 2024

 

Spring has arrived in Bruceville and camp is the place to be! We are looking forward to seeing our 1st-7th grade campers and enjoying the cooler temperatures at Spring Camp! Whether you joined us during the summer, or you are curious about trying out camp for the first time, Spring Camp is a wonderful opportunity to spend time with friends at GFC! For everyone, come and make new friends, enjoy a Shabbat together, and keep the magic of camp going throughout the year.

Spring Camp will be a fun-filled camp weekend! Campers can challenge themselves on the ropes course, engage with their friends in a wide variety of sports and arts activities, experience the magic of a GFC Shabbat, and make memories that will last a lifetime. Our camper cabins offer a great opportunity to form new friendships, with bunk bonding activities after a fun-filled day. Havdalah brings us together as a camp community as we say goodbye to shabbat. After Havdalah, we will celebrate a sweet new week, singing classic camp songs around the campfire. We will see you there!

Transportation to and from camp will be provided as part of the weekend tuition. Buses will depart and return from four locations: Austin, Dallas, and Houston. You will also have the option to drop-off and pick-up your campers. 

For questions about Spring Camp, please reach out directly to Shira Karp, at SKarp@urj.org
