My Baby is Grown Up
By Abigail Fisher I often refer to URJ 6 Points Sci-Tech Academy as my third child. Like my two human children, it has been my honor and delight to watch Sci-Tech grow from idea to infancy and onto maturity. My first notion of Sci-Tech was following Summer 2012 after...
Quest Day
By Hannah Jay When people think of the most hyped event at camps, they often think of color war, or Maccabiah. It’s a way for campers to participate in a variety of competitions while getting to work in teams. It’s a day (or more) of intense activities, chanting and...

Warm Fuzzies in Byfield

Creating, experimenting, and constructing – workshops continue
Workshops are the core of the program here at Sci-Tech where campers dedicate two and a half hours each day to exploring where their curiosity leads them and connecting to peers who share similar interests. These spaces foster self-expression and the development of...
