Today marks 78 years of Israel’s independence, and it feels like a meaningful moment to pause and reflect on the connection between Israel and our camp community. We’re so grateful for our Israeli campers, shlichim, and shinshinim, who bring so much heart, culture, and spirit to CMC each summer. 🇮🇱 Wishing our community a meaningful Yom Ha’atzmaut. May it be a time to celebrate Israel’s strength and resilience, while continuing to hold onto hope and pray for peace and healing.

Shabbat has a way of bringing us back to what matters: rest, connection, and the people around us. Wherever you’re spending it this week, we hope it’s filled with warmth and peace. Shabbat Shalom CMC! . . . . . #CMC #SummerCamp #Explore #Connect #Belong

Happy Passover from Your Friends at CMC! Each year at the Passover seder, we proclaim, “Let all who are hungry come and eat,” reminding us that Jewish life is built by welcoming others and creating spaces where everyone belongs. As we retell the story of Passover, our tables become places of connection, belonging, and shared Jewish memory. At Camp Mountain Chai, we carry that value into everything we do. Each summer, we work to ensure that every Jewish child has the opportunity to experience the magic of Camp Mountain Chai, regardless of financial circumstances. Read more about sisters Manuela and Mia who have benefited from camper scholarships and make your Passover gift TODAY so future campers can experience the magic of CMC. https://conta.cc/4dapA1y

As the sun sets, we pause, we breathe, we gather. Shabbat Shalom to our beautiful CMC community! . . . . . #CMC #Explore #Connect #Belong

We are proud to introduce our CMC 2026 Kavanah Trip Leader & Staff! 🎉🇩🇴🏕️❤️ We are thrilled to announce that Hillary Altes will be our Kavanah Trip Leader. Hillary has extensive experience working with Jewish youth and has been on CMC Leadership staff for years, including staffing the Kavanah trip in Summer 2024 and as our Staff-in-Training (SIT) Director in Summer 2025. Hillary is passionate about empowering young people to make a positive impact in the world, and we are fortunate to have her leading the way.  We know this is such an incredible and meaningful journey, and we cannot wait to share it all with you very soon.     Meet Kaia: Kaia is so excited to be returning to Camp Mountain Chai this summer as a member of the Kavanah staff! Her CMC journey began many years ago as a camper, and she even participated in the Kavanah program herself — an experience that played a meaningful role in shaping who she is and deepening her love for this community. Kaia is passionate about creating a supportive environment where every camper feels connected, confident, and proud of who they are. Meet Oli: Originally from the UK, Oli is thrilled to be joining the Kavanah trip to the Dominican Republic this summer, where he’ll be supporting campers every step of the way. His focus? Making sure every single person in the group feels safe, included, and confident as they travel, explore, and create memories that will last a lifetime. When he’s not cheering on the group, you can find Oli on the football field, and that same energy and enthusiasm he brings to the game is exactly what he’ll be bringing to Kavanah. Meet Sam: Originally from London, Sam joined the CMC family last summer as a Sports Specialist and it didn’t take long for camp to work its magic. Sam loved the experience so much that returning this year was an easy decision! This summer, Sam is stepping into an exciting new role as part of the Kavanah staff, and couldn’t be more thrilled to share this one-of-a-kind experience in the Dominican Republic with our campers. Sam’s warmth, enthusiasm, and genuine love for the CMC community make them a perfect fit for this meaningful journey.

This. This is why we come back every year. Summer 2026 - are you in? 🏕️ . . . . . #CMC #SummerCamp #Explore #Connect #Belong
