Biographical / Historical

Young Judaea is the oldest Zionist youth movement in the United States. They have brought together thousands of Jewish youth from across the country and around the world – of every religious, cultural, and political persuasion, through a shared commitment to Jewish values, Jewish pride, and love of Israel. Each year more than 2,000 campers - grades 2nd to 12th - and staff attend Young Judaea’s network of day and overnight summer camps located around the country. Camp Young Judaea - Texas is a traditional, residential, Jewish camp founded in 1952. They are a co-ed camp that accepts campers between 2nd and 9th grade, (ages 7 to 14), and typically have 300 campers per session. There are two sessions every summer, each three weeks long. The campground is located near Austin, Texas, in Wimberley. Staff expose campers to a number of activities designed to educate, inspire, and enrich the lives of their campers.
