Camp Rodef Shalom fosters friendships, relationships, and community by providing fun and engaging experiences in a safe environment. By living Jewish values, we give our families opportunities to strengthen our Jewish connections.

Our 5-week main session provides campers and staff the time to build long-lasting relationships that carry on through their years as part of the community at Temple Rodef Shalom.

Our one week Bonus Week is an optional week that can be added to Main Session or attended on its own.

While every year we keep adding to our menu of programs and activities, one thing stays the same—our ruach (spirit)! The magic a child experiences and the friendships that are developed at camp last a lifetime. Camp exposes us to new activities, new people, and to things we may never have tried before. In addition, the self-confidence that builds in children greatly impacts their future endeavors. You will not find a more dedicated or passionate group of leaders—with many of our staff starting as campers. There’s nothing like the Camp Jaycee experience!

At Camp J, your camper will get to experience summer-time favorites, like sports, art, swim instruction, weekly field trips, and a whole lot more, led by our highly trained and selectively chosen staff. We welcome campers from all backgrounds, and emphasize Jewish values, like tzedekah (giving back), kehillah (community), and givun (diversity). We pick one value as our theme each summer, weaving it into our curriculum, and give campers the opportunity to practice it. Our campers also get to experience Israeli culture firsthand with our “oshlichim,” young emissaries from Israel, who teach about Israel using a wide variety of activities which celebrate Jewish heritage.

Teen camp or TAC, is a place for campers to thrive while receiving a clear structure and set of boundaries but enough freedom and flexibility to explore new interests and have the opportunity to step up and take on positions of responsibility.

We challenge our TAC campers to think about new ideas, to put themselves outside of their comfort zone and to gain an appreciation for helping and benefiting others. Campers leave completely inspired by the opportunities they have explored and the new ideas they have been exposed to.

Our camp’s focus is on teen leadership, service learning, and international teen tour experiences.
