Specialty

Simcha, Kehila, + Ruach campers

Classic camp includes sports, swimming, cooking, Jewish culture, drama, nature, and arts + crafts. Campers often stay with the same counselor throughout the summer, providing a sense of consistency and helping to keep campers feeling safe and comfortable. Each week, we go outdoors as often as possible, but have the opportunity stay indoors. Simcha campers can progress through our swim program twice a week. All Classic campers swim, gather for a daily song circle, and celebrate Shabbat on Fridays.

Our half-day (9:00 am - 1:00 pm) specialty camps focus on specific activities such as painting, cooking, and sports. Blended with traditional camp activities, your camper will have quality hands-on time with their chosen specialty.

Week 9

Did you know that we receive 1/4 of our lifetime sun exposure before the age of 18? Despite Oregon's cloudy days, sun and UV exposure are present. The SHADE program (Sun Hat Awareness, Distribution, & Education), is an exciting, hands-on science program developed by the Uriel Medical Foundation and Bend Science Station, teaching kids that the sun's invisible rays can be both helpful and harmful. MJCC is embarking on a project to adapt this school-based program into a Day Camp setting! Funding for this project is provided in part by the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute Community Partnership Program.

Please note: campers must be fully potty trained.

ABOUT We know that even our smallest campers want to have fun and explore. Camp can be challenging for preschoolers - just as they have gotten their routine down at school or at home, they find themselves in a new environment, doing new things. We recognize this and work to give our Simcha campers some extra TLC. Our Junior Camp promotes fun, friendship, and life skills for your preschooler by providing experiences that will encourage your child to:

Make new friends • Build social skills • Develop teamwork Inspire imagination • Foster creativity Our developmentally-appropriate Junior Camp program gives your preschooler a well-rounded foundation for the future. With smaller camper-to-counselor ratios, experienced counselors, structured activities, purposeful play, and options for naptime, we aim to balance the needs and interests of each child.
