OTHER CAMP INFO: Rainbow Trail Lutheran Camp invites you to join us for an outstanding opportunity to share in the love and joy of God's family. We are an outreach ministry of the congregations of theRocky Mountain Synod, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. We are located in the heart of the San Isabel National Forest of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The majestic wilderness becomes an excellent setting for growth and renewal. We encourage campers to make new friends and develop new skills while discovering their gifts and growing in their faith. The strength of our ministry is that Christ is the center of all we do.

Our Bible Studies are based on the theme “Forgiven: A Better Version of Me.” In the New Testament, Jesus talks about forgiveness, about forgiving ‘seventy times seven.” We have received the ultimate gift in the forgiveness of our sins and the salvation that we have received through Jesus Christ. So what does it mean for us? Are we good enough for God to forgive us? Can we forgive ourselves? What about when it comes to forgiving others? These are all questions that we will wrestle with during our week together. When we live in the forgiveness we have received from God, we will be transformed; we will be different. How can that change our world, not only at camp, but especially when we come down the mountain? And how will that forgiveness make us better versions of ourselves? Our summer staff is carefully chosen and well-trained to provide excellent Christian role models for youth. Come spend a week with us this summer! We're eagerly anticipating your arrival!

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Camp Shai offers a full-day, traditional day-camp experience for campers entering Kindergarten – 10th grade. Activities at Camp Shai are designed to challenge campers and help them grow in a safe, supportive environment. Each day at camp offers countless opportunities to make friends and memories while having a BLAST!

What is camp without swimming?!? All Camp Shai campers have free swim 3 – 4 times throughout the week. In addition, pre-K - 3rd grade have swimming lessons twice a week with our JCC Swim Safe Academy. During their time in the water, campers will learn proper water safety and swimming skills, including the four competitive strokes using stroke progression and repetition.

For your sporty camper, or campers who want to learn more about a particular sport, there is no better place than Shai Sports. Monday through Thursday, campers receive 2 hours of specialized instruction from vendors such as Snow Valley Basketball, HERO Sports, and our very own JCC Tennis Center. In addition to the professional vendors, Campers will also be supported by Shai Sports counselors. All campers will have the opportunity to practice new skills and master old ones. To accommodate age-appropriate skill development, Shai Sports is offering two age groups: Kindergarten – 1st Graders and 2 – 6th Graders.

CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: The CIT Program is geared toward rising 9th and 10th graders who will gain hands-on professional experience in the camp environment… AND have a blast while they’re doing it! CITs will experience what it is like to be a counselor and practice their skills in camper care, leadership, and group management.

CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Need-based scholarship support is available as needed.

YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: Excellent! Drop off your camper at the JCC for a day of fun, Camp Shai style! Together we will either go on a field trip or participate in a special on-site program. In addition, we make art projects, play games, go swimming (make sure to pack a suit!), and more! Each day, we will begin with a camp-style morning circle and icebreakers to get everyone engaged before we start our day of adventure. Make sure to please send your camper with a dairy lunch – we’ll provide healthy snacks. Each day of Camp Shai School’s Out is from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm with options for Sunrise Care (8:00 – 9:00 am) and Sunset Care (4:00 – 6:00 pm).

OTHER CAMP INFO: Camp Shai is excited to present our full-day Specialty Track Camps (9am – 4pm) with a wide variety of subjects to pique the interest of all campers! Specialty Track Camps offer an incredibly fun and well-founded day – 2-hours of specialized instruction Monday thru Thursday in addition to free swim and camp activities each day. On Fridays, Specialty Campers join in for all-camp Friday FUNdays and the all-camp Shabbat to finish up the week.

SUMMER CAMP JOBS:
Working at Camp Shai
More than having tons of experience, we’re looking for people who love working with children and want to learn tips and tricks to doing so! If you have a great attitude and are the kind of person who likes to “join in” and give everything a “go”, then this is a great job for you!

SO, WHY SHOULD I BE A CAMP COUNSELOR?
Camp Counselor jobs are your chance to have a different kind of summer, spending three months working with children.
It’s a great experience for anyone who wants to go into teaching or coaching. As a counselor, you’ll walk away from the summer as a better problem solver, communicator, and team player. It will also develop your leadership skills.
Most importantly… working at Camp is FUN!
