CAMP SIMCHAH
Entering Grades 1-7
Monday – Friday, 9:00am – 4:00pm*
Camp Simchah campers will have a blast with the classic JCCNS camp-model that we all know and love! Our shared campus with Epstein Hillel School allows for experiences both inside and out! Campers will enjoy daily rotations of Instructional Swim in our beautiful outdoor pool, Arts & Crafts, Sports & Games, Science & Nature, and some exciting, new, counselor-led group games, including use of our Gaga Pit!
Each week finishes off with our Shabbat Showcase — songs, performances, presentations & displays — a time for campers to showcase what they have accomplished that week! Plus, Spirit Days will help fill our activity-filled weeks with even more fun! Campers entering 3rd-7th grades may choose to register for some weeks of Camp Simchah and other weeks of Simchah Specialty Camps. Campers can choose the programs they’re most interested in to craft the ultimate summer!
We are also bringing back our camp overnights with fun evening activities for campers grades 3+ (or sleep-under with early pickup for campers in 1st and 2nd grade).

What is Simchah?
The Hebrew word Simchah means Happiness and Joy. At Camp Simchah, we believe in the power of Camp and the power of Happiness and Joy — so we’ve selected these principles that guide everything we do at camp.
Daily Activities
Campers attend daily from 9am-4pm. Simchah campers will have daily rotations of classic camp activities, such as Arts and Crafts, Science and Nature, Core Values/Service Learning, Free Swim, and Music. Our oldest camper groups will also get a taste of the Specialty camp offerings within their weekly schedule.
* Simchah campers with siblings in KinderCamp or our Early Childhood program may opt for a 1:00pm early dismissal from camp for all days. Inclusion campers may coordinate a shortened camp day with our Inclusion Director.
