The Outdoor Jewish Experience (OJE) is a unique program that allows students in 3-6th grades the opportunity to get a Jewish camp-like experience in lieu of attending weekly sessions. Students spend two Sundays at KI (9:00-11:30) and ten 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 Role Models Around the World.
Each week students will discover the ways Jewish artists and historical figures have explored their relationships to Judaism in order to expose them to diverse Jewish practices and cultures around the world. In doing so, students will also learn about the Jewish holidays, God, Israel, Jewish history, values and more.
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.
