Youth Experiences at The J

Check out these cool lava lamps our campers made in STEM! Our campers enjoyed their electives and activities such as sports and chess today. We are super excited for our finale of hot dogs and a movie tomorrow!

Today at camp we dove into our "Day Camping We Will Go" theme! We had a variety of camping themed games for our campers, from flashlight tag to capture the flag, and we even made dream catchers. We can't wait for the other themed surprises that are sure to come later this week!

Thank you to the Phoenix Herpetological Society for visiting Shemesh today! We loved seeing all of the reptiles, especially the tortoises, lizards and snakes. Lots of our campers learned new things about reptiles. We even got to touch the reptiles at the end of the presentation!

What a way to kick off our "Day Camping We Will Go" week! Lots of our campers participated in a variety of activities today, from making picture frames, to dancing and swimming. Our electives are continuing as well, with campers crocheting, performing experiments in STEM, and playing sports in the gym. What a great way to start off the week!

WOW SHEMESH! What an incredible end to a wonderful week! We had a huge Shemesh carnival today, with tons of booths and activities for our campers to enjoy. From face painting, to potato sack races, our campers had lots of fun competing and earning tickets! To top everything off, campers got to choose from a table of prizes after they finished playing their games. We can't wait to see everyone next week for our “Day Camping We Will Go!” theme!

One more day until carnival fun! Today lots of our campers did a wide variety of activities, from crocheting, all the way up to dancing and even cooking! Our campers are talking about the exciting carnival games planned for tomorrow. We can't wait!

Shemesh! Another amazing day at camp has come and gone. Lots of our campers enjoyed swimming and swim lessons today, and many others had lots of fun in Activities With Ashley, STEM, and more. We can't wait for tomorrow!

We had another amazing day at camp today Shemesh! Lots of our campers participated in their chosen electives, which included chess, sports, art and STEM. Our campers are getting more skilled by the day in chess, and in STEM our campers learned about the different types of fingerprints and even got to see what theirs looks like on paper! We can't wait for tomorrow!

Our "Under the Big Top" theme is here! Our campers started today with activities such as coloring in All About Me, and lots of our campers learned how to crochet too. We can't wait for the carnival surprises later this week!

Ahoy! What a wonderful end to our "Treasure Hunters" week at Shemesh! Our campers did a multitude of themed activities, such as the huge campus-wide scavenger hunt! All of our campers fought to find the treasure, and some brilliant minds were put to the test when finding the clues. We can't wait to see our campers next week for our "Under the Big Top" theme!

Another treasure hunting day at Shemesh is complete! Lots of our campers have been head-to-head to see who can get the most amount of points by finding different pictures of our staff. We are super excited for our pirate games tomorrow, and we can't wait to find out which group is the winner!

Shemesh went on a super fun field trip today! Our younger groups got to go to Kids Empire, and our older groups had tons of fun at Mavrix! Our campers had a blast climbing on a huge playground, bowling, and playing arcade games. What an amazing trip!
