DESCRIPTIONS
Camp Hilbert Camp Ganim
Camp Hilbert has been the home of happy
campers for the past 73 years. Nestled in
the heart of Goochland County, our beauti-
ful 110-acre site is the ideal day camp
setting for exploring the outdoors, building
and developing skills, and forging lifelong
friendships. Campers in grades K-10 enjoy
a wide range of activities from boating on
serene Lake Rosalie, to team building on
our low-ropes course, and playing a Camp
Hilbert favorite: Ga-Ga. Camp Hilbert of-
fers the classic camp experience complete
with late-nights/over-nights, theme days,
and Color War (Maccabiah). Join us for the
best summer ever, and memories that will
last a lifetime! Camp Ganim offers educational and safe
opportunities for children ages 2-5 to interact
with nature. They run, climb, dig, collect,
pretend, take risks and create, while exploring
sand, mud, flowers, insects and the great
outdoors! Add swimming, art, water play,
music, gardening, and caring counselors, and
what a perfect summer your child will have!
Specialty Camps
Specialty Camps is a 12-week program of
pure fun and excitement. Does your child
ever dream of riding a horse, creating LEGO ®
masterpieces, or becoming a master chef?
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.
Teen OPPORTUNITIES
Our teen camps are excellent volunteer
opportunities 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. These “peer camper”
opportunities at Camp Hilbert, Voices
Together, and Camp Ganim all involve
assisting the counselors and learning
valuable skills through working with young
campers and/or those with disabilities.

Instructional Swim
With our state-of-the-art Aquatics Center
at Camp Hilbert and the Weinstein JCC
recreational pool used for Camp Ganim,
our Instructional Swim Program features
everything to ensure our campers gain
swimming competence to last a lifetime. Our
staff evaluates each swimmer and places him
or her with campers of the 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 on the Autism Spectrum.
Campers participate in both indoor and
outdoor activities that keep them engaged
and entertained, including art, music therapy,
swimming, science and classroom and
gym games. The professional staff and teen
volunteers make this an experience your child
will not forget!
Kids’ Place Camp
Kids’ Place Camp is an exciting end-of-
summer experience with three weeks of
age-appropriate and fun-filled programs and
activities. Kids will enjoy field trips, sports,
craft projects and having a blast together…
because the summer might be winding down,
but the fun never stops in Kids’ Place!
General
Information
Even though our summer is filled with fun, safety is
our number one priority at Weinstein JCC Summer
Camps. Our safety measures include security guards
on premises (both at the JCC and Camp Hilbert),
Red Cross trained lifeguards and swim instructors,
CPR/First Aid certified staff, an EMT on staff at Camp
Hilbert, and background checks for all staff.
Lunch & Snacks
Your child should pack a dairy (meat and shellfish
free) lunch, as well as a water bottle. Camp Hilbert
and Specialty campers are provided one dairy, kosher
afternoon snack. Specialty campers should also
pack a morning snack. Snacks and lunches at Camp
Hilbert are refrigerated prior to eating. Ganim camper
lunches are not refrigerated and should be sent in an
insulated pack with an ice block. Although meals are
not required to be nut-free, children with nut aller-
gies will be seated in nut-free areas. Camp Ganim
will notify parents if their child is in a nut-free room,
in which case the child's lunch must adhere to the
nut-free policy.
