We’re Dreaming Big at CYJ Texas!
We’ve raised $9.7 million toward our $12.5 million stretch goal.
Help us make our stretch goal of $12.5 million!
Why Now?
- Creating safe spaces for young Jews to explore and express their Judaism has never been more important.
- Camp makes Judaism FUN! Campers, counselors & alumni become adults with strong Jewish identities and connection to Israel, positively impacting our community’s future.
- Our local Jewish communities need our young peoples’ leadership skills to become the next generation of Jewish volunteers and professionals.
CYJ’s Impact
For nearly 75 years, CYJ Texas has been more than just a summer camp. It’s a place where campers and staff discover who they are, build lifelong friendships, and deepen their connection to Judaism, Israel, and one another.
