Summer Camp

Rookie Sessions (7 Days) | Grades 1 – 5

Our week-long session is a wonderful introduction for younger or first-time campers, as well as a great way for busy families to fit CSS into complex summer schedules. Campers sample the wide variety of daily activities offered in our longer sessions and have the special experience of spending a Shabbat at camp. All of our counselors are specially trained to understand the needs of first-time campers. Sign up for one or multiple rookie sessions! Campers who have previously attended a rookie session are strongly encouraged to attend a combo or full session.

Combo Sessions (15 Days) | Grades 4 – 7

Combo sessions pack an entire summer of fun into two weeks! This option is perfect for new and returning campers alike. Combo sessions lay the foundation for many years of enriching camp experiences at Schechter! Sign up for one or multiple combo sessions!

Full Sessions (24 Days) | Grades 4 – 10

Experience everything Schechter has to offer in this exciting 3-week session! Campers enjoy a variety of daily activities, innovative evening programs, fine arts instruction, sports, an overnight camping adventure, and so much more! Through interactive and creative Judaic programming, campers explore their own Jewish identity, while building their commitment to tikkun olam (repairing the world) and kehilla (community).

Programming

Our daily chuggim (activities) are enriched with Jewish content and values. All camp programming is designed to instill a sense of derech eretz (respect) and kehilla (community). Additionally, we run camp-wide limmud (learning) events, where we take a deeper dive into Jewish historical events or texts.

Grade 1 – 4 campers will experience all of the classic camp activities as a cabin while at camp. Grade 4 – 10 campers have the privilege of choosing their chuggim (activities). Grade 4 – 10 campers get to try out a number of different chuggim and participate with campers from other cabins. Our staff members work hard throughout the year and during staff week to prep and pre- plan activities that will be fun and dynamic.Campers will have the chance to participate in a variety of chuggim:

• Aqua Park
• Hiking
• Drama
• Arts & Crafts
• Dance
• Zip Lining
• Archery
• Lawn Sports
• Music
• Yoga
