  • Sponsor a New Siddur Before Camp Begins!

These beautifully designed siddurim reflect the heart and soul of our Camp Mountain Chai community. They’re more than just prayer books they’re a meaningful part of our Shabbat celebrations and also include our camp songs, our famously loud chants and Havdalah service all of which are cherished traditions that bring us together summer after summer. 🏕️

Sponsoring a Siddur is a meaningful way to:
- Honor your camper and their incredible CMC journey
-Celebrate a special occasion like a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, birthday, or anniversary
- Dedicate in honor or memory of a loved one, family member, or friend

Sponsor your siddur today at https://tinyurl.com/4p2yuavd

  • 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!

  • 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.
