Challenge
Course: At Camp JRF, we have a full high and
low ropes challenge course. Our challenge course director
is highly trained in helping campers to safely push their
limits and try new things, while also making sure that
campers are always comfortable with their experiences
on the course. Complete with wire bridges, swinging tires,
repelling stations, a zip-line over the lake, and much,
much more; the challenges are endless. Rest assured, safety
is our highest priority - our campers experience the thrill
of pushing their limits in only the safest and most secure
ways.
Arts:
The Aaron and Marjorie Ziegelman Campus provides
an ideal setting in which to explore all forms of the
arts. Our arts center has facilities for arts and crafts,
pottery, tie dye, industrial arts, and much more. In
addition, we also have a full theater with a two-level
stage, sound and lighting equipment, and seating for
the entire camp. Coupled with practice rooms, music
studios, and a dance pavilion, the arts play a major
role at Camp JRF. We know that our campers bring talents
of all kinds to camp and we encourage them to showcase
these talents be they musical, artistic, or dramatic.
Sports:
Whether it be soccer, volleyball, softball, basketball,
ultimate Frisbee, roller hockey, tennis, or ga-ga, sports
are a central part of the Camp JRF program. For expert
players and for those who want to try something for
the first time, there is always something new to learn
from our sports program. Throughout, our campers play
in an environment that encourages healthy competition
and great team spirit.
Trips:
Each of our eidot (units) leaves camp
once during the summer for an exciting overnight trip.
Our youngest campers go camping for a night to experience
the joy of cookouts, s'mores, and sleeping in tents.
Our older campers leave camp for a longer period of
time, visiting local communities to do tikkun olam
projects and experience nature up close by canoeing
or hiking. These trips are a time for campers to bond
with their friends and experience a different side of
camping.
