Why Camp JCC?

Welcome to a world created just for children.

Welcome to Camp JCC. We take pride in our welcoming and inclusive environment. The moment your camper is greeted in our carline to the moment we are saying goodbye at the end of the day, they are a part of our camp family. Our Camp Staff Team knows how important it is to learn every camper’s name. Camp JCC is proud to be accredited by the American Camp Association.

read what our 2023 camp jcc parents are saying about "why camp jcc?"

“All of the staff members that my camper interacted with were amazing! We felt so fortunate for him to have such an incredible first “big kid” camp experience!” – Parent of a rising 1^st grader
“Excellent experience for my kiddo with special needs. He felt very included and confident all summer that he had friends.” -Parent of a rising 2^nd grader
“My campers loved the atmosphere, wild variety of activities, swimming big time, and the counselor interactions. Their experience was one that brings nature, a caring environment, and the importance of people having fun and learning how to be better people to their hearts. They are being raised Jewish, so it was great cultural experience as well.” -Family member of two campers
“We’ve been to other camps and the staff just doesn’t compare to the Camp JCC team. Amazing, responsive, attentive, and professional staff with a system that runs incredibly smoothly. Best hours, facility, swim instruction, easiest car line, swim team option! The best.” -Parent of a rising 4^th grader
“Simple. My kids love it!” -Parent of two campers
“Camp JCC has once again exceeded my expectations. Despite all the challenges (extreme heat wave and poor air quality), the team pivoted, finding ways to keep the kids active and engaged. More importantly, I had peace of mind and confidence that they were in the hands of caring counselors and in an environment that reinforced kindness, respect, and community.” -Parent of a rising 6^th grader
“My son loved his first time at Camp JCC this summer. He will definitely be back!” -Parent of a rising 5^th grader
“My son loves going to Camp JCC. For the few weeks he was not enrolled, he wished he was there. That speaks volumes.” -Parent to a rising 7^th grader
