In the grand and glorious state of Texas, where cowboy boots are as common as tumbleweeds and the local language includes y'all, there's a troop of kids known as the Faithful Rodeo Rangers. Now, these aren't your ordinary, run-of-the-mill kids. Oh no, these little cowpokes are as spunky as a bronco and as tough as a longhorn's hide. They gather every Sunday in their best checkered shirts, denim jeans, and ten-gallon hats for a rootin', tootin' religious service activity that's as big and bold as Texas itself. Our story revolves around the toughest Ranger of them all, a ten-year-old whippersnapper named Billy Bob "Bible-thumping" Bumblebee. Billy Bob, with his twinkling eyes and mischievous grin, is as quick with a Bible verse as he is with a lasso. He leads the Rangers with a heart as expansive as the Texas plains, and a spirit as fiery as the summer sun. In the heart of this Lone Star State, these pint-sized, prayer-praising cowkids kick up the dust with their line dancing, harmonize like a heavenly choir with their hymn singing, and bring the gospel to life with their passion-filled performances. Their laughter rings out louder than a cowboy's yee-haw, and their kindness spreads faster than a prairie fire. Yet, the Faithful Rodeo Rangers are more than just fun and games. They're a testament to the power of faith, the joy of camaraderie, and the enduring strength of the Texan spirit. You see, in Texas, religion isn't just a Sunday ritual, it's a way of life. And these kids are riding high in the saddle, lassoing in the love of God, one religious service activity at a time. Yee-haw, indeed!

At URJ Greene Family Camp, camp magic isn't just for summer! We bring the joy, camaraderie, and enriching activities of camp into every day of the year. We've made it our mission to be a constant source of engaging Jewish experiences, broadcasting the best of our camp activities to our community, no matter the season. We're proud to say our programs, both summer and year-round, are firmly rooted in four core Jewish values. First, we emphasize Hineni - being an individual and understanding one's unique worth. Second, we promote Reut - the creation of meaningful, lasting relationships. We also value Kavod, meaning respect for peers and oneself. And, finally, we celebrate Am Yisrael, the community of Jewish people. These time-honored, universally embraced values provide the foundation for every event we organize. They're how we anchor our activities in the rich tapestry of Jewish tradition. By doing so, we aim to ensure that Judaism remains relevant, accessible, and meaningful for all our campers in the present day.
