A Weekend just for Campers
in grades 1-8
October 27 – 29, 2023
Fall Camp is a ‘taste of camp’ weekend for any new or returning camper in 1st through 8th grade! Whether you are a new camper family thinking about summer 2024 or have been to camp before, this weekend is for you!
Fall Camp is 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, Houston, and San Antonio. You will also have the option to drop-off and pick-up your camper.
For questions about Fall Camp, please reach out directly to Shira Karp, at SKarp@urj.org.
