  • After 498 unimaginable days in captivity, Sasha Trufanov, Sagui Dekel-Chen, and Iair Horn are finally home. Their homecoming is a powerful testament to the strength, courage, and resilience that carried them through unthinkable challenges. Today, they get to hold their loved ones once again.

As we welcome them back, we hold those still waiting to embrace their loved ones in our hearts. May this be another step toward bringing every hostage home. 🎗️
  • Shabbat Shalom, Camp Mountain Chai! Wishing you a Shabbat filled with meaning, light, and love. 🏕️❤️

  • We are beyond thrilled to introduce Tzippy Moehringer as this year’s Shorashim (2nd–4th grade) Unit Leader! Tzippy’s journey at Camp Mountain Chai (CMC) began in 2011 as a camper, and over the past 13 years, she has grown into a passionate, dedicated, and inspiring leader in our community.

From 2011–2018, Tzippy called CMC home as a camper. In the summer of 2020, she remained connected to camp by participating in SIT (Staff-in-Training) Zoom calls, demonstrating her commitment to the CMC community even during uncertain times. She then returned as one of our Omanut (Arts & Crafts) specialists in 2021 and 2022, sharing her creativity and warmth with campers. In 2023, she stepped into a middle-management position as the Shorashim Assistant Unit Leader, further developing her leadership skills and impact on camp. In 2024, she stepped into a summer leadership position as our Shorashim Unit Leader and will be returning this summer to do the same!

Tzippy brings an incredible passion for overnight camping, a commitment to building relationships with every camper, and unmatched ruach (spirit) to our CMC family. She creates a nurturing environment where our youngest campers can explore their curiosity, learn what it means to be part of a larger Jewish community, discover how to make lifelong friendships, and fall in love with the magic of CMC. Shorashim campers, get ready for an unforgettable experience! 🏕️

  • Tu BiShvat begins tonight at sundown. This holiday is called Rosh HaShanah La’llanot, which can be translated to the “New Year of the Trees.” During this holiday, individuals plant trees, eat delicious fruits and, spend time outdoors. Every day at CMC, we feel a deep sense of pride to be a camp nestled amidst the serene beauty of the forest. Happy New Year Trees! 🌲🏕️✨
