Add swimming, art, water play, music, gardening, and caring counselors, and what a perfect summer your child will have! CAMP HILBERT Camp Hilbert is a safe, fun and nurturing environment where kids in grades K-10 can come to explore the outdoors. From the morning flag pole assembly to canoeing on beautiful Lake Rosalie, campers will enjoy a wide range of activities led by trained specialists designed to provide an experience unlike any other. Located in Goochland County, our breathtaking 110-acre site is a perfect day camp setting. Let your children have the summer of a lifetime...and we’re sorry if they come home a little bit muddy! SPECIALTY CAMPS Specialty Camps is an 11-week program of pure fun and excitement. Does your child ever dream of riding a horse, creating LEGO masterpieces, or building a computer app? Specialty Camps has all of those interests and more! Our camps provide professional and focused instruction which result in fun with learning mixed in. Our goal is to provide an interactive and safe environment that ensures every camper’s physical, mental, and social developmental needs are met. GANIM VOLUNTEER CORPS Ganim Volunteer Corps is designed to help participants in grades 7-12 meet their school’s community service requirements while still having an exciting, fun and meaningful summer experience. Each participant will be placed in a Camp Ganim group in the morning to assist the counselors and will have the opportunity to learn valuable skills working with young campers. INSTRUCTIONAL SWIM With the expansion of our Aquatics Center at Camp Hilbert and the Weinstein JCC recreational pool used for Camp Ganim, we have also expanded our Instructional Swim Program to ensure that all children gain swimming competence to last a lifetime. We evaluate each swimmer and place them with campers of their same swim level. As the summer progresses, the campers attain new skills and move up to the next level to gain confidence in all areas of swimming. VOICES TOGETHER Voices Together is a safe and structured day camp for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Campers participate in both indoor and outdoor activities that keep them engaged and entertained, including art, music therapy, swimming, and classroom and gym games. The professional staff and teen volunteers make this an experience your child will not forget! LEADERSHIP TRAVEL INSTITUTE LTI is two weeks of travel, service, adventure, learning, fun and growth that builds the leadership capabilities of older campers. Skill development and personal growth are the focus while campers scuba dive, volunteer for several organizations, travel to North Carolina, ride the tallest and fastest roller coaster on the continent, go whitewater rafting, get CPR and First Aid certified, challenge themselves on a high ropes course, and participate in a variety of leadership-based workshops and activities. 3
