Camp Young Judaea Midwest

Located in Central Wisconsin, Camp Young Judaea Midwest has provided a Jewish camp experience for children in grades 2-9 for over 50 years. Our beautiful 80-acre lakefront property offers the opportunity to explore, take on new challenges and make friendships that last a lifetime. We offer an elective based camp program featuring waterskiing & tubing, archery, a high ropes course, arts, soccer, sailing, nature, drama, basketball, digital media, a maker’s space, swimming, field trips, a zip line and much more. 

CYJ Midwest has a community of campers from across the spectrum of Jewish backgrounds. Campers come from over 10 states around the country, France, Israel, and Mexico to join our family of 130 campers per session. We offer a pluralistic approach, which allows campers and staff to learn and grow together while making informed choices about their connection to Judaism and Israel.

We focus on each individual camper to make sure they can be successful while learning to grow within a group setting that fosters our five guiding principles:

• Treat others the way you want to be treated
• Respect other people’s differences
• Help people who are in need and ask for help if you need it
• Use kind words when you speak to people or about them
• Be a role model for others

As our family follows these principles, we are growing campers who will become future Jewish leaders.
