JCamps at Shalom

JCamps caters primarily to children of the Jewish faith, but they welcome all children who wish to participate. Depending on when you sign up, your child can participate in JCamps in Central Texas from late May through mid-August. There are both one-week and two-week camp options.

Campers can enjoy various activities in the Shalom Austin Jewish Community Center's lush outdoor spaces, gymnasium, and state-of-the-art classrooms. Each child gets outdoor exercise, art time, and lots of singing. Activities vary between age groups, but children as old as 10th grade can sign up for a program.

Your child can participate in activities like sports, swimming, archery, theater, art, biology, martial arts, and more. Older children get to choose one elective for the whole camp, encouraging them to learn a new skill. They also learn leadership and safety skills, such as crisis management, CPR, first aid, and lifeguarding.

JCamps prides itself in being an inclusive camp for everyone, regardless of their faith, with values of friendship and kindness over competition. Whether you want to help your child grow closer to their Jewish community and faith or expand their circle of friends, it's a sound choice for a memorable summer.
