RSJ Family Programming

Camp GesheЯ offers programming for RSJ families with young children.

These events are age-appropriate for the children while also offering networking, social, and educational opportunities for their parents. Programs are mainly focused on themes of Jewish holidays. Programs are held in person, both in public (parks, zoos, skating rinks, etc) and in private (homes, JCCs, synagogues) spaces.
