8 Discoveries (Tagliot) of Sci-Tech
The URJ 6 Points Sci-Tech community has returned to Byfield after undergoing a tremendous amount of change both in the community and in the world. Science teaches that through change, new insights are discovered, making it fitting that discovery (taglit) is one of Sci-Tech’s five values. Throughout the eight years of helping campers and staff find a feeling of home in Byfield, Sci-Tech has made so many discoveries (tagliot).

Choose Your Player: Hanukkah Game-A-Thon!
This Hanukkah, Thursday, December 10th through Thursday, December 17th, Sci-Tech will be celebrating the festival of lights through a daily dose of laughter, games, and candle lighting that’s sure to brighten up your day! As part of our end-of-year scholarship campaign, Sci-Tech is hosting a Hanukkah Game-A-Thon! Our Game-A-Thon is like a Walk-A-Thon, with different staff and staff alumni teams pledging to raise a certain amount of money in donations prior to them walking or, in our case, gaming!
