Campers of all ages enjoy our new playground.

5772 (2012) Camp Opportunities

One of the things I love most about our learning community here at CBI is how involved so many of our members are in extending our children's Jewish learning into the summer. We have a wonderful showing at Camp Shelanu as well as Camp Newman and other wonderful Jewish camps each summer.

As you begin to plan for the summer, I know that many folks are probably trying to put together the funding you will need to make a child’s summer experience a reality. We are happy that our community and the Jewish world can help support the choice to send our community's kids to Jewish summer camp.
