Pikuach Nefesh: Preserving Human Life
Everyday people make decisions. We decide what clothes to wear, who to interact with, and when to speak our minds. In each act we perform there is potential to do good. Here at Sci-Tech, we have counselors and instructors who help our campers see that potential.

My 1st Week at Sci-Tech
We asked some of our new campers to reflect on their first week at camp. Here are their highlights:
Shrek Maccabiah Session 3
Trip Day Session 3
Trip day provides an opportunity for our campers to observe what they are learning in their workshops in a professional setting.
Making the Mischlahat
I came to Sci-Tech from my home in Nahariya Israel, as one of the 12 Israeli mishlachat for the summer. Mishlachat is the hebrew word for delegation, and at Sci-Tech refers to the Israeli counselors who come to camp as a delegation to bring Israel to the Sci-Tech community.
5 Favorite Ways to Spend Sababa Time
Everyday campers here at Sci-Tech come together as either lower or upper camp for Sababa time on the Main Lawn. They play Gaga, make friendship bracelets, and most importantly spend time together.
Tallit: A Symbol of Unity Among Our URJ Camps
This week, our sister URJ Camp, Camp Coleman in Georgia sent us a tallit, a shawl with four fringes that we wear to remind us of the mizvot that God commanded. It was made in a chug with the intention that this tallit celebrates caring, compassion, healing and love. A tallit just like this was made for each of our URJ camps in memory of those who were killed in the mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Florida.
Savlanut (Patience) in Animation
This Shabbat, our campers demonstrated their patience (savlanut) through stop motion animations. Stop motion animation takes a lot of patience as it requires many individually photographed frames being pieced together.
