Support Camp

“By donating to camp, I can help ensure the legacy for my daughters and hopefully see them experience camp as a transformative experience.”
— Danny, Alumni & Donor

Shwayder Camp works hard to give our campers the summer of a lifetime. From mountaintop adventures to experiential Jewish opportunities, our campers are exposed to a multitude of activities that help them build camaraderie and confidence. Gifts to our camp will help us to continue to provide the opportunities our campers need to grow and thrive.

Ways to Donate

  • The General Fund

    By donating to our General Fund you can make an immediate impact where Shwayder needs it most.

  • Scholarships

    Our goal is to give all our Jewish children an opportunity to experience a summer at Shwayder Camp. With increasing costs and increasing family needs for assistance, we must raise more scholarship funds to accomplish this. Please consider donating to the Shwayder Camp Scholarship Fund.

Life and Legacy

Since 1949, we have provided a place where Jewish values and traditions can flourish and grow. Our Life and Legacy Program makes sure that future generations will be able to experience the same Shwayder Magic. Estate gifts can help build and strengthen a permanent endowment for Shwayder Camp, providing us a stable financial future. Regardless of age, wealth, or affiliation, we all have the ability to leave a legacy.

    “The Talmud clearly explains our obligation to educate our children and Shwayder Camp does it brilliantly, in the most beautiful setting imaginable. A legacy gift doesn’t compromise my current responsibilities. It’s a chance to make a statement today about my values, while still prioritizing family responsibilities. Shwayder clearly deserves to be supported – it reflects the best of Colorado and the best of Judaism.”

    “The girls call it Shwayder Magic, the chance to disconnect from life as you know it, to connect with life as it should be. With the mountains, with friends, with self, and with Judaism – with everything that truly matters. A legacy gift just made sense for our family. In our age group, we must balance giving with other financial needs. The legacy option allowed us to support something that has impacted out children’s lives in such an incredible, fantastic, Jewish way.”
