News from Camp: Media Lab, Pottery and More!

Shalom from Camp Solomon Schechter!

We recently received an Opportunity Grant from the Samis Foundation to take our arts program to new heights!  Through this grant, we will be able to offer more professional digital photography and video production chuggim, as we are purchasing new cameras, microphones, lights, green screens, etc.  The grant will also fund the purchase of pottery wheels, extruders, tile cutters, and more so that we can offer an exciting pottery chug for the first time in ten summers!

We are also changing our overnights during Gimmel session.  In the past, all campers in Bet and Gimmel session would go for an overnight with their cabin to our campsite on the Deschutes River.  This summer, Bet cabins will continue at our river campsite, while our Gimmel campers will go on an out-of-camp excursion!  The 10th graders will be spending two nights away from Camp, while our 8th and 9th graders will be going on one-night, single-gender trips.  They will enjoy hiking, camping, cooking, playing and shmoozing, creating amazing memories that will last the rest of their lives.
