Looking forward to seeing you at Camp Shai in 2015!
While camp does not run all year, remember that we offer youth programs year-round at the JCC that are full of camp spirit and fun - Vacation Camps, Saturday Nights Out, and After-school Enrichment! These programs include field trips, swimming, specialty courses, and other fun activities. Please visit our website for more details.
Camp Director - Abby Kaufman I am so excited to spend my first summer with all of you at Camp Shai. I know it is going to be one for the record books! We have been hard at work listening to your feedback and are thrilled to be returning to our home at the JCC this summer. In addition, we have redesigned our camp program to offer more specialty choices for our campers, so that we continue to provide them with the best possible camp experience. We know it is important that campers have a voice in deciding what their day looks like!
