As musicians who frequently perform at Jewish summer camps, Rick Recht and Josh Nelson know how to create memories that last a lifetime.Nelson plays at many camps, but one of his favorites is the Warwick, NY URJ (Union for Reform Judaism) Kutz Camp. “It’s essentially a leadership camp for high school kids,” he told JNS.org. “The kids are some of the most driven, bright, forward- thinking young Jewish kids in America today.”
“Amazing Experiences That Words Cannot Explain”
Working with my campers has taught me patience, given me confidence, and taught me to be a role model. It really helps me because I want to be a teacher and having the CLC experience has shown me so much about working with kids. I love every person in the CLC community because we are all tied together and at the end of the day we all share something, Judaism.
The Makings of a Jewish Science Camp
The new 6 Points Science & Technology Academy is gearing up to tackle one of our nation’s biggest challenges: providing quality educational opportunities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) for children.
Creating Community Leaders From Teen Leaders
There have been no greater influences on my life than my temple youth group, NFTY-GER, Urban Mitzvah Corps, and NFTY in Israel. My participation in these programs as a teenager led me, as an adult, to become a Jewish professional and an active participant in the New York City Jewish community.

Hanging Out Around the Virtual Campfire
The scene could be anyone, anywhere, and it has repeated itself countless times over the years: on a bunk bed at Greene Family Camp, around the campfire under the stars, in dorm rooms, and now, a few years after college, in front of our computers in a Google “Hangout,” Google’s multi-person video chat.
