Summer Camp...
the way it is really meant to be.

It's time for camp!

You remember how great camp was, the fun, the fresh air, the woods, the water, the s'mores, the games, the cabins.

Did we mention the fun?

Whatever you do this summer, allow your children the chance to experience camp the way it is really meant to be with the Mandell JCC's Camp Shalom day camp.

Located on 75 acres of woods and waterfront along the Farmington River, it's the perfect place for kids to swim, boat, canoe, water ski and tube under the watchful eyes of Red Cross-certified instructors as well as fish or hike, or enjoy arts and crafts.

Whatever they choose to do, there's no better place for them to do it than here. We have over 50 years of camp experience, loads of activities, a brand new climbing wall, special theme days, and counselors who know how to make every day fun.

It's summer- it's your kids' time to paddle on the waterfront and tromp through the woods.

Their time to make crafts, new friends, and memories that will last a lifetime.
