Camp Solomon Schechter

Camp Solomon Schechter has operated at the Trails' End facility for the past 34 years. During these years, significant strides have been made toward accomplishing the two-pronged goal originally conceived by Rabbi and Goldie Stampfer: (1) Camp Solomon Schechter has moved forward, enhancing and perpetuating the summer camping experience for Jewish c... hildren in the Pacific Northwest. (2) The Trails' End facility has become a campus at which Jewish organizations would "foster and perpetuate the religious, educational, and cultural values of Judaism" as expressed in the original Articles of Incorporation. On November 11, 1954, the Board of Directors of Camp Solomon Schechter, Inc., adopted the following resolution to honor Rabbi Joshua and Goldie Stampfer: BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors of Camp Solomon Schechter, Inc., as the owner of the Trails' End facility, which has served as the home of Camp Solomon Schechter since 1968, and in gratitude for Rabbi Joshua and Goldie Stampfer's lifelong commitment to Judaism, for their ongoing commitment to the Jewish children of the Pacific Northwest, and their dedication to countless Jewish organizations, hereby declares that the Trails' End facility shall hereafter be known as, "THE STAMPFER CENTER." In adopting this resolution, the CSS Board expressed its intention to hold many more years of Camp Solomon Schechter's camping sessions at The Stampfer Center, and to continue to develop The Stampfer Center as the home, on either a long-term, short-term, or occasional basis, for other Jewish organizations of the Pacific Northwest. Revenue generated by the use of The Stampfer Center will continue to help fund the Camp Solomon Schechter program and the capital expansion of the facility.
