The URJ Camp and Israel Programs are committed to providing a Reform Jewish summer experience to all children, including those with special needs. Check out information on our special needs programs below or download the special needs flyer.
Inclusion Support at all 13 URJ Camps
Our Inclusion Coordinators, trained professionals hired by each of our camps to support campers with special needs, are prepared to work with caregivers and professionals to plan for and provide a fulfilling camp experience for all children. Contact the Camp Director at each of our URJ Camps to discuss any accommodations or support systems that we can put in place to ensure the success of your child.
