The Camp Sabra Story

Camp Sabra has been home to Jewish children from all over the United States since 1938 (Camp Hawthorne and Camp Wah Kon Dah were merged and renamed Camp Sabra in 1970). Each summer we create a joyous Jewish community surrounded by 3.5 miles of shoreline and 205 wooded acres. We welcome campers from 8-15 for one, two or four week sessions with a wide range of activities that includes water skiing, wake boarding, tubing, lake and pool swimming, sailing, paddle boarding, canoeing, funyaking, zip lining, climbing, gaga indoors and out, Judaics, Tarbut (Israeli cooking, games and dance), archery, video, tennis, soccer, basketball, softball, indoor hockey, arts & crafts, theater, nature, camp outs, and many other daily choices. Our food is VAAD approved kosher, and we eat together in our air conditioned dining hall. Camp Sabra in the Lake of the Ozarks is a magical place where fun and friendship build Jewish lives.

Our Camp Leadership

Director | Terri Grossman

Terri Grossman, Camp Sabra Director, began her Sabra career as a camper in 1971. She has been a camper and counselor and Unit Head at Sabra in the 1970's, up to 1981. She returned to camp in 1994 as Assistant Director for four summers while she earned her MSW at Washington University. Terri left us in 1997 to become a full time mom to daughter Lee, but returned as Director in 2007 full of that Sabra Spirit!

Asst Director, Retention and Recruitment | Kimberly Holtzman Sloan

Kim Holtzman Sloan has joined the Camp Sabra staff as the new Assistant Director of Recruitment and Retention. A self described “camper since the age of three,” Kim attended Sabra for three years, and then continued as a C.I.T., mini-camp counselor, Ayelet Unit Head and Habonim Unit Head. Kim studied Radio/Television at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, and then she moved to Los Angeles, where she spent 13 years as a freelance Casting Director. [expand title="Read More"]She estimates casting for up to 100 different game and reality shows, including Deal or No Deal, Newlywed Game, and Let’s Make a Deal. Kim is excited to move back to her hometown of St. Louis and her Camp Sabra “home” with her husband of nine years, Ted, and their two daughters. She will spend her summers at Camp, and will help new families learn about Sabra during the off-season at house parties and other events across the country. “I cannot wait to get started and introduce families who have not yet experienced Sabra excited for their first summer,” said Kim. “I also cannot wait to meet the returning campers so that I can help them make lifelong memories such as I did when I was a camper.”[/expand]

Why We Host Schlichim

"Hosting Shlichim during the summers remains a wonderful experience for our family. Each year we meet dynamic and fascinating young Israelis with whom we maintain contact long after the summer has gone. Our kids are the greatest beneficiaries of the experience, finding in the Shlichim individuals who they come to regard as older siblings. It is an event we look forward to every year with good reason and plan on continuing for years to come."

Connecting with Israel

“Although it was so new, Israel brought upon me a familiar sense of belonging much like what I feel at Camp Chi every summer. The ability to be in a place where one feels so free and proud to be a Jew is a feeling that makes me so proud to be involved in my Jewish heritage.”

- Joshua Krawitz, 17, Camp Chi, JCC Chicago
