“Shine” Mind, Body, and Soul!
To get the camp spirit rolling, we introduced a song called “Shine”, our Coleman theme song, written by long time Colemanites. It is sung on the first day of camp every summer. We hope that you have a chance to listen and learn the lyrics, so that when you arrive you feel at home.

Farewells from Donetta and Alex
It was 8 years ago that I learned about an opportunity to be an Assistant Director at URJ Camp Coleman. I can be an Assistant Director at a camp I didn’t grow up at!? I never went to Jewish overnight summer camp as a camper, and after meeting the team and going to camp with Bobby for my interview I knew this was where I wanted to be and a place I wanted to call home.
New at Coleman this Summer
Sci-Ventures will allow our campers to see the natural camp environment as a living laboratory. Science is all around us, and we are excited to add this new elective for curious Coleman campers who love exploring big questions in science.
