Teen Programs

Camp JORI, through BBYO, offers 10th grade campers who have completed the LIT program a month long experience in Israel.  Camp JORI’s Israel Journey is a once-in-a-lifetime experience to connect with the history, people, and natural beauty of Israel. The program is also the culmination of our Israel education programming at camp.

Participants will then return to JORI as Counselors in Training (CITs) for the last two weeks of the summer at camp to continue their training to be future counselors. This program, along with additional staff training initiatives that will strengthen the camper-to-counselor transition.

As an alternative, incoming 11th graders can apply to be junior counselors.  They will go through an application process including an interview. If hired they will be a first year staff including living in the bunks, time off and learning the ins and outs of what it means to be a counselor at Camp JORI.  Junior Counselors will receive a stipend.  Please apply here.
