Camp Mountain Chai serves children entering grades 2 through 12. Each cabin group consists of 8-16 campers. All of our cabins include indoor bathrooms and showers, carpeting and storage for clothing and equipment. Each cabin is staffed by two to three staff members, including some activity specialists. The cabins are grouped by grade and gender. Our camper experience includes some activities with their cabin group, and other activities including individually chosen chugim (electives), divisional and all-camp evening programs.
Camp Mountain Chai creates a community to inspire a love of Jewish living through fun, friendship, discovery, and exploration:
- Camp life fosters a strong sense of responsibility, self-reliance, independence, and self-worth.
- Unique outdoor experiences instill a passion for our natural environment in the San Bernardino National Forest.
- Innovative programming cultivates meaningful Jewish experiences and nourishes a strong affection to the land, people, and culture of Israel.
- CMC creates year-round opportunities to strengthen and develop interpersonal relationships.
Camp Mountain Chai serves youth and teens entering grades 2 through 12. Each cabin group consists of 6-16 campers, staffed by at least two college-aged counselors.
Our carpeted cabins are fun spaces to hang out, play cards, listen to music, chat with friends, and more. No need to go outside in the middle of the night at CMC; all of our cabins have bathrooms and showers inside!
Imagine having a sleep over with 10-15 of your best friends; that’s what camp is all about. Our counselors live in the cabin with you, facilitating lifelong friendships and caring for you around the clock.
