Deep in the Hills:

Building our Future

A Bold Investment in the Future of YJ

The Deep in the Hills Capital Campaign will ensure that Camp YJ remains a place where campers grow, connect, and thrive for generations to come.

With a goal of $6 million, this effort will transform key areas of camp — enhancing daily life, expanding programming, and creating spaces that match the energy and spirit of YJ.

To make a multi-year commitment, select the “ongoing” option to the right, and then use the drop down menu to select monthly, quarterly or annually. For example, to join the Chai Society at $1,800 a year for four years, select “annually”, and then click the $1,800 button.

Through this campaign, we will create:

  • A Modern Boys Area designed for comfort, connection, and growth

  • A Multi-Purpose Complex to expand sports, programming, and community life

  • A 21st Century Dining Hall to serve as the heart of the camp experience

  • A Refreshed Ulam Levine for gathering, celebration, and creativity

In addition to making a gift online, there are several meaningful ways to support the campaign, including through a Donor Advised Fund, gifts of appreciated securities, or other planned giving options. To learn more or for assistance in structuring your gift, please contact Jon Spack at jspack@campyj.org.

Here’s to another 85 years and Beyond!

There are people playing and sitting in an outdoor area with string lights, and the text overlay says, "Deep in the Hills: Building our Future." The logo for YJ Camp, established in 1939, is in the top left corner.
