Inspiring a Love of Judaism,
365 Days a Year
At URJ Camp Newman, we’ve been building a foundation for a vibrant and joyful Jewish life for 75 years! Rooted in Reform Jewish values and guided by our experienced staff, we offer fun, immersive summer sessions that give your child the opportunity to develop community, teamwork, self-esteem, and individual skill. Activities include sports, outdoor adventure (hiking/nature exploration, high ropes course, camping and archery), music, art, dance, leadership training, and social action. Campers celebrate their best selves, form lifelong friendships, and find a community where they belong. There are so many amazing things to do: Seeing the final point scored in Ultimate Frisbee. Dancing together on Shabbat. Making s’mores around the firepit. Singing arm-in-arm every night before bed. Climbing the Tower and Hiking to the Star. Making more friends in a week than they could all year. We believe that these transformative experiences inspire kids to bring camp home to their daily lives, applying what they learn here to better themselves, their communities, and the world. We can’t wait to spend the summer with you!
Sessions
Camp Newman offers traditional and specialty summer sessions from 10 days to 8 weeks as well as a 3 day/4 night Taste of Camp for rising `1st-4th grade.
Location
Camp Newman is located on Porter Creek Road, nestled in the hills of Santa Rosa, CA on over 500 acres of tree covered land. Their campers and staff have space and time to just be; no screens, no pressure, only sunny days, starry nights and circles of friends singing around a campfire.
Values
At Camp Newman, we work together to build a community of acceptance, where we role model positive behaviors, and acknowledge that each and every member of the community is vital and important. We live by the value of b’tzelem Elohim, which reminds us that each of us is created in the image of God and is celebrated for that uniqueness!
