THE PREMIER JEWISH DAY CAMP
IN SOUTH FLORIDA
We are dedicated to providing our community with a summer program that engages,
inspires, and educates our campers in a safe and positive atmosphere. We recognize
the importace of every child’s individual growth, and we pride ourselves in providing
an environment rich with opportunity.
Shirley Schreiber Family Camp Simcha is devoted to enhancing your child’s sense of
Judaism with enriching experiences including art, song and weekly Shabbat services.
Campers spend their days engaged in activities throughout the Beth Torah campus.
Our daily programs include sports, fitness, games, educational activities and
instructional swimming at our on-site pool.
The safety of all campers is our top priority. Our on-campus security will not allow
any person onto the BTBRC campus without proper identification. All visitors and
vendors are screened before being allowed entry. Before camp begins, all parents
will be asked to obtain a BTBRC identification card in order to gain entry into campus.
Our security staff is specially trained for school and camp facilities.
Camp fees include a nutritious kosher lunch prepared exclusively for our campers by
Events by Executive Caterers.

Rok Campus. She worked both in our youth department and at
Camp Simcha before attending and graduating from Florida State
University with a degree in Recreation and Leisure Service
Administration. She brings more than 15 years of youth and camp
experience to the Beth Torah/Camp Simcha Family.
