While our religious school program is innovative and exciting, there is even more available to our young people as they reach the middle school years.  Our Junior Youth Group offers our young people opportunities for fun and socializing, winter retreats at Camp Harlam, group Mitzvah projects, and informal learning while they also develop strong friendships with their classmates.

It also provides a Jewish peer group for our children who are many times the only Jewish kids in their class during their secular education.

The logistics for Junior Youth Group are overseen by Nikki Wilson, Melanie DeSantis, and Holli Winick-Viau, who arrange for several parents to organize social events on a monthly basis.

The highlight of our year is a weekend retreat at Camp Harlam.

Junior Youth Group includes students in grades 6-8, and offers a taste of the fun times to come in our Senior Youth Group (SSTY).
