BJJ TEEN CAMP - GIRLS GRADES 8 & 9

 (Your choice of a 4 or 8 week program July and/or August)

Bnos Yaakov Yehudah Teen Camp

  It’s the first day of BJJ Teen Camp. The sounds of heavy coach busses trudging up the Teen Camp hill set off an ecstatic wave of excitement. Seated in those busses are tens and tens of bright and optimistic teenage girls. Each one carries her own hopes, expectations, and anticipations of what the summer will bring, and how it will impact her life. The girls all hop off the bus, meet their counselors, get introduced to their bunkmates, and slowly relax into a setting that will transform their lives.

BJJ Teen Camp is a camp designed to create a harmonious blend between intense involvement in Yiddishkiet and serious fun. From the food to the trips, we cater to the physical well-being of each girl . For starters, on camp grounds, every girl has the option to choose between an assortment of creative and practical workshops. Whether it is within the realm of art, music, or health, each teen is guaranteed to walk away with a developed skill.  The camp itself boasts a beautiful swimming pool, tennis court, sitting pavillion, and multi-purpose fields where girls can play a variety of sports. Additionally, more often than not, one will find the yellow school busses rolling down the hill, transporting its passengers to a host of entertaining and recreational activities; tubing, ice-skating, bowling, shopping, and overnights to name but a few.  With all that plus more, every girl is bound to find a healthy outlet for any form of constructive energy.

In addition to the physical fun provided, BJJ also strives to develop a sincere and burning desire within each camper to explore the titles she carries of ‘Bas Yisroel’ and ‘Bas Chabad.’ Between Shacharit, Mincha, Chitas, and Farbrengens, the girls tangibly experience Yiddishe and Chassidishe behavior. The intriguing shiurim and Rebbe times are calculated to enable every camper to individually internalize an appreciation for Hashem and the Rebbe. Girls complete the month with a sincere gratefulness for who they are and what they represent.

The general ambiance of camp, just like the pulsating music often blearing on the loudspeakers, is wholly positive. With an effective system of rewards and incentives and weekly camper-council meetings, campers feel respected and valued. All the staff and head-staff are there for one purpose only: to facilitate each and every camper in whichever way possible. Each of them is extremely approachable, enabling each camper to settle any personal issues that may arise. Relationships between staff and campers sprout and evolve, and often thrive even long after the summer month ends.

In general, BJJ Teen Camp provides every girl with whatever she feels she needs to develop any area she desires in a healthful manner. Between the devoted staff, meaningful spirituality, and unbelievable trips, it’s no small wonder that the girls walk away from BJJ feeling like they have just experienced the most incredible summer of a lifetime.
