Young Judaea
Our Staff Advisory Board is comprised of dedicated and passionate CYJ summer staff members. The board works with the full time CYJ staff to plan for the upcoming summer and help further the CYJ mission.
The board gains experience learning about the behind the scenes of camp, the year-round process to prepare for the summer, and helps to create change and improve to make each summer better than the next.

It’s such a privilege to watch campers and counselors create such positive and lasting relationships with each other, Israel, Judaism and camp itself. When not working in the clinic at camp, I can be found in one of my very favorite places in the world: sitting in a rocking chair on the back porch of the health center. ”
