Our regional URJ summer camp was the vision of a group of Southern Jewish parents in the early 1950’s.

Since opening its gates in 1970, the Henry S. Jacobs Camp located in Utica Mississippi, has successfully preserved and promoted Reform Judaism by providing a centralized experience of education and fellowship. Within that experience, Jewish youth from varied backgrounds have forged life-long friendships as they have grown to understand and cherish their responsibilities as Jews. Thousands of young people from across the Deep South have enjoyed the fun and camaraderie of a summer at Jacobs Camp.
