This will be our 18th summer of Camp Gilgal. It’s a nice facility that we’ve been using for several years. Activities include: swimming, horseback riding, Tabernacle (Bible lessons), field trips, Hebrew (ranging from those who don’t know the alphabet at all to those who can speak it), campfires, sports, marching in an old-fashioned Fourth of July parade in the historic gold mining town of Columbia, crafts, fun games, and some special surprises.

Camp Oakhurst
Coarsegold, California (between Fresno and Yosemite National Park)
This camp was established in 1994 after our junior campers began to panic about being too old to attend Camp Gilgal. They signed and presented a petition, so we started a new camp for them. Activities include: swimming, an adventure in Yosemite, fun at Bass Lake, Tabernacle (Bible lessons), mountain biking, ropes course, paint ball, giant swing, wall climbing, campfires, fun games and more.

White water rafting trip on the Klammath River in Northern California (near the Oregon border)
After outgrowing Teen Camp, our campers wanted to keep going, so we began our adventure camp in 1999. This will be our fourth time running this trip and it’s an amazing amount of fun! We will begin at a ranch in Oroville (near Chico) and will end in San Francisco (transportation will be available from Los Angeles). In between, will be a road trip, our traditional Wal-Mart stop, rafting on a beautiful river, sleeping where you can see more stars than you can imagine, visiting Eureka and a scenic drive to San Francisco including the Avenue of the Giants (the costal Redwoods). The whitewater rafting is on class I, II and III rapids and our guides take care of the boats and prepare our meals while we’re on the river.

Caveing, rappelling, rafting and hiking in Wisconsin.
Beginning and ending at the JFJ office in Skokie, Illinois.
After outgrowing Teen Camp, our campers wanted to keep going, so we began our adventure program in 2005. This year’s adventure will be a combination caving, rappelling, mountain biking and whitewater-rafting trip in West Virginia. We’ll be led by a Christian outfitting company we’ve used for several years from Lake Geneva Youth Camp in Wisconsin, who will meet us along the way, cook all our food and lead us in our adventure activities. The adventure will begin at the Jews for Jesus office in Skokie, although we can pick up campers along the way if they’re on our route. In between will be a road trip, our traditional Wal-Mart stop, sleeping where you can see more stars than you can imagine, and other adventures. The whitewater rafting is on class I and II rapids.

Camp Pinnacle
Voorheesville, New York (near Albany)
During these two weeks the campers will be able to enjoy all that our facilities have to offer – archery, crafts, field sports, swimming, and campfires. Plus, we go on out of camp trips and horseback riding. We do Hebrew classes and the Bible lessons in Tabernacle. Campers work together in their tribes memorizing Scripture verses and other team activities. There are always surprises taking place at Junior Camp. Junior camp is a time of fun, a chance for campers to really take ownership of their faith in Y’shua, and an opportunity to make friendships that will last a lifetime. Transportation is available from NYC, NJ and (hopefully!) DC.

Camp Pinnacle
Voorheesville, New York
Enjoy a week with other young Jewish believers playing games, swimming, spending time outdoors, and in Tabernacle. We head up into the Adirondacks for an overnight camping trip (that means tents!) and a day of white water rafting! Camp is a lot of fun, and it should be, but this week is also an opportunity for amazing spiritual growth. Take this week this summer to grow with us. We have the same transportation options (and hopes!) as Junior Camp.

Sea kayaking and sailing in Rhode Island
New York, NY
This year is our Rhode Island water adventure trip. We last did this trip in 2003. Our activities include surfing, sailing and sea kayaking! We’ll be camping out and cooking our own food. Spending time in God’s creation, separated from the distractions of home allows us to gain perspective about who we are in relation to God’s plan for our lives. It is a challenging week physically and spiritually, but it is a lot of fun too. So if you’re 15-17 years old and free August 3-9, come spend a week off and on the water with us.
