Camp Beenu 2024, 28th August-1st September, May Hill Woodlands, Gloucestershire, UK

Camp Beenu is a new Jewish youth movement in the UK cultivating nature-connected, diasporic Jewish identity rooted in justice and solidarity. Building on the success of our first two camps we are back this summer for our 3rd year!

Summer camp (ages 11+): Wednesday 28th-Friday 30th August
Supported by an incredible team of experienced Jewish educators & guides, spend 3 days immersed in the woods, making new friends, going on adventures, making art & theatre, singing round the fire & learning about activism and deep nature-connection through an experiential Jewish lens.

Family Camp: Friday 30th August- Sunday 1st September
An opportunity for families of all shapes and sizes with children of all ages to join for a festival-style wild Shabbat in the woods, filled with community, story-telling, song, nature-connection, discussions, workshops, dance & play. Particularly welcoming queer families, families of colour and families of mixed faiths who might not always feel comfortable in your average Jewish community.

We will be based at the beautiful May Hill Woodlands Campsite in Gloucestershire. This is a stunning site in the heart of the Forest of Dean with a big meadow to camp in, many acres of woodlands to explore and the epic May Hill very close by. This is a campsite, with compost toilets and hot showers and an indoor barn with some electricity, a woodburner and sofa's.

We would love to have you join us! Our events always operate on a sliding scale and ticket costs covers all food, camping spots, programming & camp resources. We are trying to keep costs down whilst being realistic around how much it costs to actually put this on (without institutional funding...)! Please pay as much as you can afford and do be in touch if costs are still a barrier. If you are able to offer an additional donation to support this camp and emerging youth movement that would be much appreciated!
