Your home base for summer fun and friendships!

READY, SET, SISOL!

Camp Sisol is where kids entering Kindergarten through Grade 8 come to laugh loudly, play hard, make new friends, and somehow come home even more tired than their grown-ups.

Each week, Monday through Friday, is packed with swimming, outdoor adventures, creative projects, and meaningful moments that build confidence, connection, and community. Rooted in strong values and powered by friendship, fun, and plenty of sunscreen, Camp Sisol makes every summer day count.

Families can choose the weeks that work best for their schedules, while campers focus on the important stuff, like perfecting their cannonballs and finding out what’s for snack.

What should my child bring to camp each day?

Each day, please send your camper with a backpack that includes closed toed shoes, a bathing suit, towel, water shoes, and a hat. Our smallest kiddos should also have an extra change of clothes.

Campers should also bring a non-perishable, nut-free lunch, extra snacks, and a refillable water bottle.

Sunscreen and insect repellent are required to be brought in at the start of the session (and labeled) to help keep everyone comfortable during outdoor activities.

What does a typical day at camp look like?

Campers rotate through a wide range of activities with their group, including nature exploration, STEM, instructional and recreational swim, splash pad time, dance, music, drama, sports and athletics, and arts and crafts. Campers also have the opportunity to try our ropes course and zip line, challenging themselves and climbing to new heights right in our own backyard.

Are lunch and snacks provided, or should campers bring their own?

Families are asked to pack their child’s lunch and snacks each day. Please be sure all items are non-perishable and completely nut-free. This helps us keep everyone safe, especially children with allergies, and makes sure our program stays a happy and healthy place for all.

Who should I contact if I have questions before and during the camp season?

Before the camp season begins, families are welcome to contact our office by calling 585-461-2000 ext. 464 or emailing campsisol@jccrochester.org.

During the summer season, we ask that families do their best to reach us by email or speak with us in person at drop off or pick up, as our team is actively out with campers throughout the day.

What is Kidstage?

KidStage campers sing, dance, act, imagine, and collaborate to create lively on-stage performances. It’s the best of both worlds: high-quality theatre training at Rochester’s #1-ranked children’s theatre, plus fun in the sun!

Campers enjoy daily swimming and outdoor adventures on our Adventure Course, featuring a zip line, ropes course, spin art bikes, and vertical bikes. With individual attention from experienced theatre professionals, KidStage helps every budding performer build confidence, creativity, and self-expression in a fun, supportive environment.

KidStage is offered during Week 6, Week 7, and a special two-week session during Weeks 8–9!

"We loved the different Jewish themes every week! The Maccabi Games were fantastic and a total highlight! Last year’s cheers and songs on the court really got the day started off right, too - we saw Jonah’s confidence soar from those opportunities and it was so fun for him to see the counselors involved. The weekly communication was great - I felt really informed and prepared each week. Finally, never get rid of the spin art bikes and Kathy Bucks!! Jonah’s two favorite things!!! Can’t wait for summer!"

"We love Camp Sisol! Gabe is happy to come back for part of the summer!"

"Our rising 5th grader had an excellent experience at Camp Sisol. He challenged himself with the ropes course, zip line, and vertical bikes, and enjoyed additional activities like nature walks, arts and crafts, and the hands-on music program. He also loved daily swim, and I appreciated the high-quality lessons. The indoor/outdoor facility is perfect for Rochester's fluctuating weather, Shabbat Sing added a special Jewish feel, and the staff was warm and welcoming. Thanks for a great summer!"
