Camp Shelanu

The award-winning and National Inclusion Project accredited Camp Shelanu Summer Day Camp is one of the Triangle’s most beloved summer camps, earning it INDY Week’s Best Summer Day Camp in Durham County recognitions from 2019-2023. With programs that allow campers to experiment with visual and performing arts, sports, teamwork and leadership, nature conservation, STEAM, and so much more, campers are always having fun. So many things set Camp Shelanu apart from the other great camps in the Triangle, including our broad focus with specialty camp options, commitment to inclusion and diversity, and that all campers get to swim every single day, with swim lessons for those who need them included in your tuition!

Furthermore, Camp Shelanu is centered around Jewish values like giving, kindness, welcoming newcomers, and repairing the world: values we can all get behind! While there are opportunities to learn about Jewish culture and traditions, there is no religious instruction at camp. We welcome everyone with joy, inclusive of all faiths and backgrounds, and are proud of our diverse community! Read on to learn more about Camp Shelanu Summer Day Camp!
