It’s another record-breaking summer at JCamps! The JCamps team is excited to welcome over 900 campers to camp this summer. With multiple camps and programs on a waitlist, it will be a busy summer at Shalom Austin. This summer programming features the return of favorite activities like free swim at the Rochelle and Stanley Ferdman Family Aquatic Center, daily song sessions and fun theme days like Wacky Sock Day, JCamps Pride Day and Yom Yisrael. This summer also brings new activities including JCamps’ expanded junior lifeguarding and junior babysitting camp for 7-9 graders, the introduction of Chugim (clubs) for Kochavim and Giborim campers, and a brand new specialty for classic camp, STEM.
