FAQs
Do I need to be a ranch camper to attend?
Everyone is welcome to attend this event! Please bring your friends, families, future campers, and anyone else who would enjoy celebrating Shabbat with some Ranch Camp ruach (spirit).
Do I need to be jewish attend?
While you do not have to be Jewish to attend, we will be focusing on Shabbat services and prayer from a pluralistic Jewish lens. Many of our lifelong campers and staff may only experience Shabbat at camp, so we design our services to be accessible, enjoyable, and welcoming to all. We expect all types of Jewish and Jewish-adjacent folks to attend.
How can i participate in the shabbat service?
Shabbat services at Ranch Camp are built on the participation and leadership of our campers and staff. If you would like to help lead a moment in the service or otherwise support this event, please let us know at ranchcamp@jccdenver.org
