About
Camp Zion is a summer program held at Temple Har Zion. The camp schedule is organized into multiple sessions across the summer, and families can choose full day or half day attendance for one month or three. Camp Zion is not a drop-in camp, and the summer schedule is flexible and can be adjusted per child to suit family schedules.
• Schedule: Camp Zion welcomes campers Monday through Thursday between 8:00am and 6:00pm and on Fridays between 8:00am and 3:30pm, with three four-week sessions running from 5/29–6/27 (closed 6/2 and 6/3 for Shavuot), 6/30–7/25 (closed 7/4 for Independence Day), and 7/28–8/22.
Temple Har Zion describes itself as a community for faith, life, and learning and is part of the larger Conservative movement in Judaism. The leadership team connected with Camp Zion includes the Director of Early Childhood Education, Rabbi Glick, Cantor Figa, and Har Zion Education Director David Schwartz. Temple Har Zion’s building includes Gropper Windows, Engen Tapestries, and Horn Sculptures, which are notable symbols of Jewish art, culture, and iconography.
Temple Har Zion is dedicated to providing a welcoming and caring community for members in River Forest, Oak Park, the Western suburbs, and the greater Chicago area, and it helped to resettle a Laotian family in 1983. Families describe Har Zion as an extended family where multiple generations participate, a place where they feel at home, and a spiritual home where children make friends and are surrounded by Jewish values. Parents and community members note the warm welcome from the rabbi, cantor, and preschool leader, and they highlight programs for kids with an emphasis on holidays.
