Camp Shemesh Rockies runs two four-week sessions each summer for about 320 campers, plus a family camp over Labor Day. We sit on 180 acres at 8,400 feet, and the outdoors is not a side program — backcountry trips, climbing, and a working garden are central to how we teach.

Our Jewish life is intentionally pluralistic. Campers come from Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, and unaffiliated homes, and our prayer options on Shabbat reflect that. Year-round staff is small; we grow to about 95 for the summer.
