KITCHEN STAFF SUMMER 2021

About Camp:
Spend the summer in the lush, green Catskill Mountains of New York and become a part of the historic Camp Shomria family; we’ve been camping together since 1928. Camp Shomria is a unique, small, non-religious progressive-Jewish camp of about 120 campers, ages 7 – 17, who share responsibility for chores and day-to-day camp functions. We are a tight-knit community of friends that is welcoming and encouraging to new-comers from every background and of every identity. Fun at camp includes learning about current events and social issues, Israeli and American-style dance and music, evening camp-fires and cook-outs, arts and crafts, creating plays, and competing in sports. Everyone loves our Friday night non-traditional shabbat celebration.
