Tzedek Tzedek Tirdof, Justice Justice We Shall Pursue.
In the last week, it has filled our hearts with hope and light to see our campers, staff, alumni, and faculty living their Jewish values and taking a stand against hatred and systemic racism. In the face of injustice, our community will not remain silent.
Pi Day 2020: Help Sci-Tech become someone's SECRET INGREDIENT!
Pi Day 2020 is quickly approaching and we’re cooking up something special! We hope we can count on your support because YOU are the secret ingredient in our recipe. Pi is an infinite number, meaning there is an infinite number of ingredients that makes camp special, and this year we want to see your slice of Sci-Tech!
Sci-Tech East Announces their #SupportGirlsInSTEM Campaign!
You can help #SupportGirlsInSTEM! Since 2014, URJ 6 Points Sci-Tech Academy and Women for Reform Judaism (WRJ) have partnered in the work of changing the world, one female engineer, doctor, and rocket scientist at a time! In our inaugural summer, only 27 girls attended Sci-Tech, and now after our sixth summer, we have 113! That’s over 4 times as many young women at camp than we did that first year, all thanks to the amazing work of WRJ! But our work is not done!
From Strength To Strength: A Shabbat Message From Rabbi Mark Kaiserman
We finish the Torah portion Matot this Shabbat and the book of Numbers with it. It seems well-timed as Sci-Tech finishes its session and summer after this Shabbat as well. At the conclusion of reading a book of the Torah, we say, “Chazak, Chazak, V’nitchazek – From Strength to Strength May We Be Strengthened.” We celebrate the past at the same moment we look to the future. That’s a lot of what camp is all about.
Touching The Sky Through Rocketry, Drones And Aviation
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No wait, it’s Sci-Tech campers! Aviation chugim are some of our most popular electives here at Sci-Tech. Our campers love flying, so much so that one chug wasn’t enough! This year, we have three different aviation options: Drones, Rocketry, and Flight Simulation.
Trip Day: The Tales Of Our Adventures Off Camp!
Our campers had so much fun on tall of our Trip Days this summer. While out in Boston, our campers experienced our core value of curiosity or sakranut. While out with their workshop and the Museum of Science, our campers asked questions and engaged with the material around them. They got to experience first hand how what they learn workshop translates to the real world; they participated with excitement and were given an experience they will never forget.
Two Camps, One Amazing Counselor
Both Jordanna and Anna were thrilled with Larry – and the results of the collaboration. Just as they expected, Larry brought Sci-Tech West best practices from Jacobs Camp.
Galaxy Quest: Our Third And Final Space Themed Maccabiah
The Magic of Sci-Tech: Snacks, STEM, and Staff!
It’s hard sometimes to verbally explain what makes Sci-Tech different than an average Jewish camp. The obvious answer is living on Governor’s Academy and the high-quality facilities that most other camps don’t have access to (and of course, the food!). One could also talk about the intense focus on science and technology the permeates all aspects of camp life. Workshops, meals and evening programs all based around STEM concepts. All of these things make us different, but I believe that the thing that truly sets Sci-Tech apart is the staff.
