BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: The Jewish UnCamp is a one-of-a-kind, judgment-free zone for independent-minded Jewish teen girls. It's where you'll have open discussions about everything that matters - like what is true love? What is a soul? Why do bad things happen? What does it mean to be Jewish, and why should I care? Colorado is your summer playground where fun-lovers can go hiking, biking, water-tubing, kayaking, swimming, and more. Explore the non-conformist in you with the creative workshops including ceramics, acrylics, collage making, stained glass, watercolor, and multi-media.
CAMP INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES OFFERED:
Music/Band, Fine Arts/Crafts, Video/Filmmaking/Photography, Swimming, Waterfront/Aquatics, Academics, Adventure, Wilderness/Nature, and more. Activities Include (but Are Not Limited To): Hiking, Kayaking, Canoeing, Biking, Swimming & Rock Climbing.
CAMP LOCATION: We will call magical Colorado home for the 3 weeks of UnCamp. Operating on a Girl Scouts-owned campsite, the site’s 724 acres of vast terrain are framed by stunning rock projections, the beautiful Laramie Mountains to the west, and crystal lakes and rivers to the east – all surrounded by the Roosevelt National Forest
Fly into Denver and meet up with our charter bus to the property. The campsite is a two hour drive from Denver, and just a hop over the state line from Wyoming and Nebraska.
CAMP FACILITIES: The property has a beautiful lodge for meals and activities, all-season cabins where we’ll be sleeping, and miles and miles of breathtaking hiking trails.
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: The Jewish UnCamp is open to Jewish girls from all backgrounds, from those who have no experience with Jewish customs and texts, to those who have significant experience. Our approach is Chabad, with its emphasis on understanding the unique Divine mission we each have in creation.
The Jewish UnCamp is a project of Bais Chana Women International, an award-winning nonprofit organization that serves an international clientele of Jewish women from all walks of life, from teenagers to grandmothers, with Jewish education, guidance and support.
Get ready for late-night cook-fests, drum circles, bonfires, talent shows, and slam poetry.
In the creative workshops, you'll explore ceramics, acrylics, collage making, stained glass, watercolor, and multi-media
Out of it all, Jewish UnCampers know that the best part is the girls that you meet and the lasting friendships that you make. Because when there's nothing superficial getting in the way, what remains is what's meaningful.
So go ahead, make this summer count – we don’t call it the UnCamp for nothing.

OTHER CAMP INFO: The Jewish UnCamp is your chance to explore life’s big questions through the lens of Judaism. And with over three thousand years of Jewish wisdom to tap into, you'll explore topics like: true love, the nature of the soul, what is the human psyche, what do Jews believe, why is Israel important, why kosher, what do dreams mean, what about faith, free will, destiny and reincarnation, what’s Shabbat for, what’s the key to happiness, what about other religions, why do bad things happen to good people…and our favorite — what does it mean to be a Jew today and why should I care? No topic and no question is off limits.
This isn’t someone else’s agenda, it’s yours.
