CYJ’s 75th Reunion

April 2-4, 2027

In 2027, Camp Young Judaea Texas will celebrate an incredible milestone: 75 years of unforgettable summers, lifelong friendships, Jewish growth, and community. The centerpiece of the celebration will be a very special weekend at camp April 2-4, 2027, bringing together current and past camp families, staff, and special Israeli friends to celebrate the magic of CYJ together. In addition, we hope to host community gatherings in Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and other cities based on interest and demand.

We anticipate having more interest in staying at camp than we will have rooms to house our guests. Please fill out this short survey to let us know if you prefer to stay at camp or offsite for the weekend. Guests may also attend on Sunday only. More info to come!
