Upper Valley Jewish Center - End of Summer Day Camp
The UVJC is starting a Day Camp in Hanover this summer: August 17-21, 2026, during the “shoulder season” between the end of summer and the first week of school when lots of families are looking to fill the gap in child care coverage. Based at the Roth Center on the Dartmouth campus, we will do arts and crafts, field and board games, music, theater, dancing, hikes and nature exploration in nearby Pine Park, campfires and s’more roasting, baking, cooking, a field trip to a water park, and many other fun things. All of these activities will be infused with Hebrew vocabulary and Jewish values.
The camp is led by educator (and former Ray School parent) Melissa Herman, along with a team of counselors drawn from Dartmouth undergraduates and high school students. The campers are ages 5 through 10, and the cost features a sliding scale starting at $25 per camper per day, including lunch and snacks. Send any questions to Melissa: school@uvjc.org.
