Outdoor Jewish Adventure (OJA)

BB Camp’s OJA programs take campers off Camp and into new environments to learn and explore amazing sights together. Guided by inclusivity and our core values, OJA experiences focus on leadership development, creating valuable connections with each other, strengthening Jewish Identities, and allow for ample opportunity for adventure and hands-on experiences.

OJA is for rising 11th graders

OJA PNW aims to explore the majesty of the Northwest with a trip through America’s most breathtaking region. OJA PNW will take our campers across Oregon and Washington as they experience everything our home offers, including hiking through trails on Mount Hood, Mt St Helens, Mount Rainier, the Sisters, and many other destinations. Our Campers also explore the grandeur of the Pacific Coast with activities like studying coastal habitats, panning for gold in Southern Oregon, and a multi-night backpacking trip through the Three Sisters Loop. Come experience the PNW like never before.

 Participants will sleep in tents or on tarps, using sleeping bags.

All participants will play a role in group accommodations, including food preparation. Teens will participate in choosing what food is prepared and learn how to cook while outdoors.

There will be options available for participants who have specific dietary needs. All dietary needs should be listed in the health form submitted prior to the trip.

The trip will have our OJA Director along with OJA specific counselors. Our staff ratio for OJA in the PNW is 1 staff member for every 8 Campers, at minimum.
