The Outdoor Jewish Experience (OJE) is a unique program that allows students in 3rd-6th grades the opportunity to get a Jewish camp-like experience in lieu of attending weekly sessions. Students spend three Sundays at KI (9:00-11:30) and nine Sundays at a beautiful local camp (from 9:00AM-1:00PM), which includes a picnic lunch (brought by each student) and Tefillah - Jewish services.
This year's curriculum: Jewish Holidays.
Each week students will take a deep dive into a different Jewish holiday. They will discover the variety of ways in which Jews around the world celerbate each holiday and learn about special foods, and music, and traditions and blessings that are central to each holiday.
Judaism is infused throughout all activities to create a day of fun Jewish learning. To complement learning, students participate in many of the fun activities camp has to offer throughout the day:
-Rock climbing wall
-Vegetable garden
-Gaga
-Zoo
-Arts & crafts
-Archery and more!
In addition to the 12 OJE sessions, students also receive 24 half-hour sessions of one-on-one Hebrew tutoring, either at KI or online.
