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.
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!
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. Read More
“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.”
