Camp Solomon Schechter is a beautiful, happy place. It is a place our children go to learn, to grow, to try new things, to become independent, and to meet other Jewish children and live a Jewish life. We foster and encourage habits such as tikkun olam
I am always amazed to see how well the goals of camp are met each summer. The transformation for a camper from the first day of camp to the last is so clear! Camp Solomon Schechter teaches young Jews of all backgrounds the skills for living Jewishly.

Buses arrived, cabins and chugs were assigned, friendships formed, laughs were heard, hard decisions were made, checks were cut and handed out, buses showed up and took our reluctant campers away
There is an indescribable feeling in the air as the buses role in on the first day of camp, and there is no session that begins more magically than Gimmel!
Camp is off to an incredible start. Aleph and Oded campers have already settled in and filled the chadar (dining hall) with ruach (spirit), and everyone is excitedly anticipating the arrival of our Echad campers later today.
