Dear Camp Solomon Schechter Community,
Camp Solomon Schechter has always been a place where lifelong friendships are forged, memories are made, and Jewish identity takes root. YOUR generous support plays a vital role in ensuring that every child, regardless of financial circumstances, has the opportunity to experience the magic of camp.
We invite you to join us in making a lasting impact on the lives of children from Washington, Oregon, British Columbia, and beyond. Your support ensures that Camp continues to be a beacon of hope, growth, and joy for every child who walks through our camp’s gates.
Thank you for being a crucial part of our Schechter family. Together, we can continue to create summers filled with laughter, friendship, and lasting memories.

At Camp Solomon Schechter, everything is interconnected.
Jewish campers and counselors, our vibrant Jewish community across the Pacific Northwest and beyond, and our ties to the global Jewish world all come together here. Camp weaves these layers into a rich tapestry, helping us feel at home in our identities while fostering deep bonds with one another and our global Jewish family.
“I’m from Israel. I come back every summer because it’s a home far away from home. After October 7, my campers reached out to ask how I was. I wasn’t sure I’d return this year, but I came because of the connection I feel. This year, it’s more important than ever to strengthen that connection.”
– Dana, Counselor
Camp friends are forever friends.
These bonds, rooted in shared adventures, late-night talks, and jumps in the lake, deepen our sense of connection to one another and to our Jewish identity. As we braid challah for Shabbat, gather on the hill dressed in white, and feel the power of our voices altogether during Havdalah, we forge deep Jewish connections that last a lifetime. These friendships provide lifelong support and love, reminding us that no matter where life takes us, camp unites us, ensuring we are truly never alone.
”The friends I’ve made at camp never leave me. No matter the distance, I’ll always cherish the memories we created together and the lasting bonds that remind me we’ll be friends forever.”
– Erez, Camper
At Camp Solomon Schechter our Jewish future is united.
Here, we grow into leaders, build confidence, and pass down traditions from one generation to the next. It’s a place where young campers look up to their counselors, and counselors pay it forward, shaping the next group of Jewish leaders. This cycle of giving and growing keeps our future bright.
“I never thought I’d be an Oded, but after last year I pushed myself to try it. I’m learning leadership and life lessons that I’ll carry with me forever. It feels great just to be there and to help my campers take those same risks that I took. I wanted to make sure they have the same support that I was given.”
– Ashton, Oded
