CAMP PROGRAM INFO: The Jewish UnCamp is open to Jewish girls from all backgrounds, from those who have no experience with Jewish customs and texts, to those who have significant experience. Our approach is Chabad, with its emphasis on understanding the unique Divine mission we each have in creation.

The Jewish UnCamp is a project of Bais Chana Women International, an award-winning nonprofit organization that serves an international clientele of Jewish women from all walks of life, from teenagers to grandmothers, with Jewish education, guidance and support.

Get ready for late-night cook-fests, drum circles, bonfires, talent shows, and slam poetry.

In the creative workshops, you'll explore ceramics, acrylics, collage making, stained glass, watercolor, and multi-media

Out of it all, Jewish UnCampers know that the best part is the girls that you meet and the lasting friendships that you make. Because when there's nothing superficial getting in the way, what remains is what's meaningful.

So go ahead, make this summer count – we don’t call it the UnCamp for nothing.

OTHER CAMP INFO: The Jewish UnCamp is your chance to explore life’s big questions through the lens of Judaism. And with over three thousand years of Jewish wisdom to tap into, you'll explore topics like: true love, the nature of the soul, what is the human psyche, what do Jews believe, why is Israel important, why kosher, what do dreams mean, what about faith, free will, destiny and reincarnation, what’s Shabbat for, what’s the key to happiness, what about other religions, why do bad things happen to good people…and our favorite — what does it mean to be a Jew today and why should I care? No topic and no question is off limits.

This isn’t someone else’s agenda, it’s yours.

Both Jim and Donna are still the current directors, and are integrally involved in every single aspect of the company. In the summer, they are on call 24/7, available both to parents as well as to our leaders in the field.

We are an ACA accredited organization with an impeccable track record. We believe in the process of accreditation. It allows us to compare our standards to other professionals in the industry. Our accreditation allows us to follow specific standards related to leader screening including use of application forms, reference checks, personal interviews, work history review, and background checks.

Many years ago, we were the first company serving young adults to require that all leaders have a Wilderness First Responder (WFR) medical certification. WFR training is far more advanced than standard first aid or wilderness first aid. In addition to this certification, we carry extensive first aid kits on all of our programs that include antibiotics and epinephrine. Contents, protocols, and standing orders are reviewed and updated every year by our Medical Director who is an MD.

Since our inception, RLT has been on the cutting edge of technological advances in communication. We began carrying Iridium satellite phones on all of our programs as soon as they were available. Today we continue to carry the latest in emergency communication systems. According to geographic location, programs are equipped with satellite phones, ground-to-air radios, and/or cellular phones providing the possibility of 24-hour access to medical help in case of emergency.

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!

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!
