Since 1958, GUCI has provided campers a place to build lifelong friendships,explore Judaism, and have the time of their lives. URJ GUCI offers a variety of summer options for children ages four and up. Our sessions run from two weeks to the full summer and provide the best of everything camp has to offer to everyone.
GUCI is more than just a summer camp! GUCI is a community. Our campers and staff create and live in an atmosphere where it is cool to be Jewish. Our Jewish heritage, history and values are integral parts of our program. Through activities designed to help build friendships within cabin groups and grade specific units, campers become a part of a greater Jewish community. That community lives on long after camp ends. Friends made at camp are friends all year long. The social and Jewish impact of camp can last a lifetime. Many campers return summer after summer. Many become staff members. The magic of GUCI is handed down from generation to generation.
