In the sprawling, rootin'-tootin' expanse of the Lone Star State, Texas, a peculiar bunch of curious cowpokes reside. They're not your regular ranch hands, wrangling cattle or riding the ranges; no sirree! These young'uns are Texas' very own "Melody Mavericks"! When the sun sets and the stars shine bright, they trade their cowboy boots for tap shoes, their lassos for saxophones, and their cowboy caps for conductor's batons! Our story follows Big Beaumont Billy, the tallest ten-year-old this side of the Rio Grande. Now, Billy wasn't just tall in stature; he was tall in talent too! He could strum a guitar faster than a jackrabbit on hot sand, tickle the ivories like a tumbleweed twirling in the wind, and belt out a tune that'd make even the coyotes howl with envy. Every evening, Billy and the Melody Mavericks would come together in their secret hideout - an old, abandoned barn twinkling with fairy lights – bringing the Texan night alive with the vibrant sounds of country, jazz, and sometimes even a bit of good ol' rock 'n' roll. Billy, with his cactus-shaped violin, would lead the musical rodeo. Tiny Tumbleweed Tommy on the drums, Dallas Dolly with her harmonica, and Laredo Lucy, the smallest of them all, with a voice so large, it could fill the Grand Canyon. Oh, the laughter and the music they'd make, echoing under the great Texan sky! Each melody spinning tales of brave cowboys, charming cowgirls, and the childlike magic of music. For in the heart of Texas, these Melody Mavericks found a way to lasso the moon with their music, making every night a symphony of stars.

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.
