Camp Shelanu
The award-winning and National Inclusion Project accredited Camp Shelanu is one of the Triangle’s most beloved day camps. With camps that allow campers to experiment with visual and performing arts, teamwork and leadership in sports, wildlife and nature conservation, STEM, and more, there’s something for every one. Also unique to Camp Shelanu is that our campers get to swim every day, with swim lessons for campers who need them included in your camp tuition! Campers of all ages splash in our two outdoor pools, zip down one of the tallest water slides in the Triangle, team build on a ropes course, go on field trips, dance, play, and foster old and new friendships both in the warm summer sun and in the AC-cooled Levin JCC and Lerner School.

JCC’s Camp Centerland at the Irving M. Shuman Campgrounds
Camp Centerland’s philosophy is rooted in the belief that teaching and demonstrating the Jewish values of Chesed (kindness), Kehillah (community) and Tikkun Olam (healing the world) is as important as splashing in the swimming pool, enjoying a popsicle on Wednesday, or singing favorite camp songs. Limud is the Hebrew word for learning, which is at the heart of everything we do. Limud (learning) is the foundation of our diverse camp community and it enables everyone to gain a deeper sense of identity and belonging.
