The URJ Henry S. Jacobs Camp is the Reform Jewish Movement's summer camp serving the Deep South: Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Western Tennessee and the Florida Panhandle. Each summer, our staff creates an amazing intergenerational community; at Jacobs, all of the campers know each other, and the staff knows all of the campers by name. Jacobs truly is “A Jewish Place at a Southern Pace.”
