Camp Solomon Schechter has a 70+ year tradition of fun, friendship, and Jewish education in the PNW. Its mission states that it blends Jewish tradition and culture as the foundation of the camp experience, integrates nature and activity to create fun, and embraces the child in every person to foster joy, facilitate friendship, and create lifelong memories. The camp adheres to the values of integrity, derech eretz (respect), and tikkun olam (repairing the world) to build a place where Judaism and joy are one. It is an open place for children to explore Jewish texts, spirituality, rituals, and history so that they may form their own unique Jewish identities. Camp Solomon Schechter is a welcoming summer home for Jews of Conservative, Reconstructionist, Renewal, Reform, traditional, and unaffiliated backgrounds, and it takes pride in its diversity and the mosaic of identities and backgrounds that make up its community. The camp meets or exceeds industry standards in over 300 measures of health, safety, and professionalism and is a member of the Association of Independent Jewish Camps.
