Label your camper’s belongings
At the end of summer, there is always a pileofcampers belongings left at camp. This is an expensive waste for our campers (and their parents!) As a way to target the problem of lost belongings and a large lost and found closet, we are encouraging our campers to label all belongings.
We have partnered with Mabel's Labels, a company with all types of labels that are colorful, indestructible and fun! With a special 'Camp Pack' available and also a larger “Big Combo”, your camper can label absolutely everything!
We look forward to sending campers home with ALL their belongings this summer! Go to www.campolami.mabel.ca and then place your order.

camp gesher
Do you need a camp that will help your child make the transition from pre-school to summer camp?
Gesher means bridge in Hebrew, and it is our hope that Camp Gesher will transition our Pre-K graduates to new adventures happy and full of confidence. The Sabes JCC Early Childhood Center will offer Camp Gesher from June 1-19, between the end of the ECC school year and the beginning of Camp Olami, for Pre-K graduates. In addition to swimming lessons taught by experienced professionals, Camp Gesher will provide a variety of fun camp activities, including singing and stories, outdoor games, water play, and arts & crafts. During camp the children will also have the opportunity to get to know some of the Camp Olami staff. Non-ECC families are welcome.

Host an Israeli
This summer, Camp Olami is bringing four staff from Israel known as Shlichim (emissaries). Shlichim are in their early twenties and most have just finished their army service. These talented individuals will be here for the summer as part of our camp community working with our staff to bring Israel a little closer to us.
We are seeking warm, welcoming families to house our Shlichim and be their home-away-from-home this summer. Please consider opening your home to an Israeli guest for approximately three weeks. This can be a fun experience for you and your family. Many of our Shlichim and host families form lasting relationships, maintaining contact with each other long after the summer has ended. Shlichim, in turn, are delighted to entertain their host families when they visit Israel. This program clearly strengthens the ties between the American Jewish community and Israel. Don’t miss your chance to take part in this enriching experience!
If you are interest in housing a Shaliach this summer, please contact Donna Garber at 952.381.3374 or dgarber@sabesjcc.org.
Inclusion Program
Our programs are fully inclusive. In particular, the Sabes JCC takes pride in providing support for the integration of children with special needs. The Sabes JCC summer camp staff works with parents to make the camp experience positive and successful for each child.
If your child needs assistance, please apply early and indicate his/her needs on the application form.
For questions, contact Anita Lewis, Inclusion Director, at 952.381.3489 or alewis@sabesjcc.org.
