VALUES & MISSION
Vision and Mission
A summer camp of the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ), 6 Points Sci-Tech & Arts Academy strives to create a more curious and compassionate world, built by creative youth whose scientific, technical, and artistic passions are shaped by Jewish values. We do this by cultivating an inclusive community where Jewish values and high-level STEM and arts instruction empower youth to explore their passions, find their people, and become their most authentic selves.
Our Values
With Judaism’s wisdom and wonder as a foundation for innovation, expression and resilience, we draw from the following for the foundation of our community:
Curiosity, סַקרָנוּת (Sakranut)
Embrace the Jewish tradition of continuous learning and discovery.
Creativity, יְצִירָה (Yetzirah)
Immerse ourselves in creation in diverse ways, recognizing and cultivating our unique gifts to continually contribute to the design of a world still in formation.
Collaboration, שִׁלּוּב (Shiluv)
Work together with others. We seek and value their contributions, while also offering our own insights and perspectives.
Perseverance, נֶצַח (Netzach)
Display courage and resolve, drawing on strength of character to journey beyond our comfort zones.
Respect, כָּבוֹד (Kavod)
Our ethical approach to work and relationships, characterized by respect and fairness, fosters personal character and cultivates a sacred and caring community.
Pride, גַּאֲוָה, (Ga’avah)
Pride is our spirit during a performance in front of the camera or on the stage; pride is our joy when we apply the finishing brush strokes or finally succeed with our Rube Goldberg machine after 100+ tries. We take pride in our community's achievements and our Jewish identity.
