We love cats, dogs, snakes, and rabbits… but they can’t come to Women’s Getaway. No pets allowed. 

CSS is a kosher and nut-free facility, so all food needs to have a hechsher (kosher symbol) and be nut-free. 

CSS is a weapons-free facility (besides the archery bow and arrows we provide).

Special requests must be noted in registration and in the questionnaire, no later than January 1, 2023. Based on this information, staff and committee members will be assigning cabins and rooms. Arrangements will be done to the best of everyone’s availability, and no guarantees can be made.

Private rooms are sold out at this time, and there is a waiting list. All cabins come with bathrooms, including showers. Cabins have bunks. Private rooms have shared bathrooms that include showers.

Please be in touch with Leah Conely about any cancellation needs. As we have a wait list, we appreciate prompt communication and will attempt to fill your spot.

Campus has a locked gate with a coded entrance. Once the gate is closed on Friday night, we ask everyone to stay on property until departure time at the end of our weekend together. We have a facilities manager who lives on site in case of any emergency. We are also located near a hospital and will have volunteer medical professionals onsite with us for the weekend.

We have women from all over the US and Canada coming for this wonderful weekend. Our ages range from 20’s- 70’s! Some are first timers to Camp, and some are second or third generation “campers!” Everyone coming has choices and options galore throughout the weekend. Our goal is to make this your weekend with Camp. The CSS Women’s Getaway is open to women 21 and over.

Throughout the weekend, you will have opportunities to give to camp, and help make a child’s summer the best ever. Your contribution makes a difference.

A detailed schedule will be sent out before our weekend. All programs and activities are optional! One of the best parts about the weekend is that there are many different choices for things like chuggim (electives) and even for prayers and services. You get to choose what makes this weekend yours.

Our committee members have been hard at work making incredible things happen for a jam packed weekend. We are excited to offer you so many great possibilities to choose from.

Each of our beautiful, clean, rustic cabins at Camp Solomon Schechter holds 8-14 campers and at least two counselors. All cabins are equipped with a bathroom and shower inside, and a porch area for shoes and wet clothing. Our Yurts have communal bathrooms and showers. There are cubbies in each cabin where campers can unpack their clothing, allowing for a tidy and sanitary living space. The cabins are cleaned daily by campers and staff.

Camp Solomon Schechter’s policy of inclusion means that we try to accommodate as many campers as possible, but our programming is not specifically geared towards families with special needs. We are happy to discuss your specific needs to see if we would be the right fit! Campers unable to readily communicate with other campers and staff, toilet and groom themselves, or move about the cabin without assistance will need to provide their own integration aide to assist them during Camp. It is up to the parents to find and secure the needed 24-hour integration aide for their camper with special needs. Your local Jewish Family Services is often a good starting point.

Camp Solomon Schechter is a Kosher camp, meaning that all food both in and out of the Chadar Ochel (dining hall) is Kosher. At every meal, we have vegetarian, vegan, and lactose intolerant options. CSS is a peanut- and tree nut-free facility. We strive to accommodate all dietary issues, although that is not always possible. Should you have further questions, please feel free to contact us.  Email our Registrar, Adi Azoulai.
