Camp HaDerekh (Devar Emet Messianic Jewish Outreach)
Ministry or organizationCamp HaDerekh is a one-week summer camp for Messianic Jewish youth entering fourth through twelfth grade. It is run by HaDerekh Youth, the youth division of Devar Emet Messianic Jewish Outreach in Skokie, Illinois. The name means "The Way" and comes from John 14:6. The organizers hold that this verse presents Yeshua as the only path to God. The camp takes place at Camp Selah in the Michigan wilderness. Campers join other Messianic Jewish young people to grow in their relationship with God and be challenged in their Jewish identity. The week includes Scripture studies, traditional Jewish worship and singing, and outdoor time in a forest and on a lake. Cell phones are not allowed at camp.Conferences, events and camps
