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!
Sci-Tech + RAC = Social Justice Academy!
We are excited to announce a brand-new partnership between URJ 6 Points Sci-Tech Academy and the Religious Action Center (RAC) for our teens in grades 9 through 12! 6 Points Sci-Tech Academy has always understood the power of science and technology and how STEM shapes and affects our world in incredible ways. Together let’s use our knowledge and STEM skills to create a more whole, just, and compassionate world!
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.
