culminates with a moving celebration of Shabbat, and
their many exciting peulot (activities) enable them
to experience a taste of Israel in Salem, Ore. A
Camp Young Judaea West summer is a fun summer that
provides a wonderful way for campers to connect with
their Jewish identities.
Camp staff from around
the United States and Israel fly in to supervise
activities such as Yom Israel, Yom Tiyul, supervised
swimming, horseback riding, field hockey, gaga,
volleyball, archery, basketball and arts and crafts.

of 18, and a registered nurse is on site at camp.
