A Jewish Sleepaway Camp for Children and Teens
Camp Mountain Chai expands and enriches Jewish identity by establishing an atmosphere
of knowledge and love for Jewish culture, traditions and religion. Through sports, arts,
outdoor adventure and aquatics, campers build life-long friendships, independence and self
worth.
Camp History
Camp Mountain Chai is the realization of a dream of a number of committed leaders in
the San Diego Jewish community. After years of searching, the current facility in Angelus
Oaks was purchased in 2004 by the Jewish Community Camp and Retreat Center, Inc.
Formerly Alpine Meadows Conference Center and Camp Osceola, Camp Mountain Chai opened
its doors to Jewish children from San Diego and other southwestern communities in 2005.
In addition to our dynamic sleepaway summer camp, CMC is available throughout the year
for conferences, retreats and other gatherings.
