Summer Session is a new program designed to combine the fun traditions of Camp Rodef Shalom with the consistency and nurturing of the ECC that parents and kids have loved for over 50 years. ECC Summer Session began in summer 2025 as a standalone program before becoming a regular extension of the school year in 2025-26 onwards.
Summer Session is taught by our amazing ECC teaching team! All of our Summer Session staff are familiar faces from the school year, and many have been with the school for upwards of a decade!
Summer Session is open to children who will turn 3 (i.e. a “rising 3s student”) or 4 (a “rising Pre-K student”) by September 30th of that calendar year. For example, a child who turns 4 in August 2026 will be eligible for Summer Session 2026 as a rising Pre-K student, but a child who turns 4 in November 2026 will be eligible for Summer Session 2026 as a rising 3s student.

Return completed applications to the ECC office. This application carries a $100 application fee due via check made out to “TRS ECC”. Please write your child’s name and “Summer Session 2026” or “Summer Session 2027” in the memo line.
Members of Temple Rodef Shalom, current and past ECC families, and younger siblings of Camp Rodef Shalom (’26) campers receive access to registration materials before the general public.
Because space in Summer Session is limited, preference is given to families desiring more weeks and/or longer days.
