Camp Shemesh
Camp Shemesh is the JCA’s summer day camp now in its 22nd season. Located on the Amherst College campus, Camp Shemesh has a tradition of
providing children, ages 6-11, with a joyful, creative, spiritually rich and educationally sound Jewish day camp experience. The camp
incorporates traditional camp activities (swimming daily at the Amherst College pool, arts and crafts, drama, music and sports) into
its Jewish-themed programming.
Three, two-week sessions are offered, accommodating approximately 35 campers per session. The camp operates weekdays from 8:30-4:00pm,
and on Fridays from 8:30-3:30pm. A Kabbalat Shabbat celebration is held on Fridays which family members are encouraged to attend.
Tuition and registration information is posted on this website in early February of each year. For more information about the camp,
including employment opportunities, please leave a message on the camp extension: 413/256-0160 ext. 250 or
