Nitzanim (Short Session) – Camp Young Judaea Texas

Nitzanim is a special 9-day summer program for kids entering 2nd grade. The session is designed to be just the right length—not so long that our young campers feel uncomfortable, but not so short that they miss out on a fuller camp experience. It offers the same growth and adventures of camp, just in a kid-size meal!

Participants get to be true members of the camp community, joining the rest of camp at evening programs, daily meals, Shabbat events, and more. A lot of the programing aims for them to become accustomed to camp. Many of the aidah’s (group) educational activities have some component to build comfort and learn the customs of CYJ. For example, they will learn songs, have adventures all around camp, try a variety of programs, and get a feel for what CYJ is all about!

We have 2 Nitzanim programs: Session 1 and Session 2. They both start on the Opening Day of their respective Sessions, and have their own unique closing day.
