Shalom! Thank you for inquiring about Camp Simcha’s summer 2024 staff positions. This year, we celebrate Camp Simcha’s 25th summer & we are looking forward to four 2-week sessions. To ensure the success of our camp, we are hiring dedicated staff who support Camp Simcha’s mission.
Camp is a place where our camper’s individual expression is celebrated within a group dynamic. Through a variety of experiences, campers will develop friendships, strengthen communication skills, and grow into the natural expression of who they are. The context will be a physically and emotionally safe and nurturing Jewish environment.
Sincerely, Katie Oberman Camp Simcha Interim Director
