Camp at Schenectady JCC has been a tradition for more than 80 years. This year, 300+ kids (from age 3 to 14) will participate in programming facilitated by 70+ staff members.
For 2017, Camp Chaverim Travels through Time will take campers to different historical eras to celebrate the summer.
Camp is divided into two age groups - Camp Chaverim (chaverim means friend) is for campers through 6th grade, and Tween Camp is for campers entering 7th grade/14 years old.
Camp offers a variety of programming and experiences, including swimming, sports, crafts, music, dance, science, nature, mitzvah days, field trips, overnights, and interaction with Shlichim (young emissaries from Israel.) Plus, extended care is available in the morning and afternoon.
Transportation from Saratoga and Clifton Park drop offs is available and included in camp fees.
