First Day of Sumer Camp!

Camp JCC officially begins!!

Coming to Camp JCC is a unique experience. Campers aren’t just greeted when they get here, they are welcomed with the largest smiles and an energy that can only be found here. It doesn’t matter if it’s your camper’s first day or forty-first: Camp JCC is where they want to be.

From the start, we focus on the shared values that everyone wants for their children: kehillah (community), kavod (respect), chesed (kindness), and yosher (honesty). We do so by using a Jewish lens to look at each of our values and encourage our campers to think not only about the action of their behavior, but also the effects their actions have on others. Our staff is trained to be engaging with campers at all levels, and the professionals we partner with make our traditional camp programming second to none.

Welcoming to all, Camp JCC is THE place to be during the summer. From traditional flag-raising and art, to instructional swim and a 32-acre campus, your child will have an unforgettable experience. 

If you are looking for a place for your camper to belong, look no further: they already belong here.

Camp JCC's traditional camp has four units:

• Olim (rising 1st & 2nd graders)
• Chaverim (rising 3rd & 4th graders)
• Yeladim (rising 5th & 6th graders)
• Na’arim (rising 7th & 8th graders)

Within each of those units there are “bunks” of campers and counselors. No, we don’t have bunks as in beds or cabins, but we use the term "bunk" to describe one group of campers. Since families are able to register by the week, there will be weeks that new campers join a bunk and weeks where a best camp friend is not at camp.

Trips & Special Guests:

• On Thursdays, our Olim & Chaverim campers will have a special on-campus guest and our Yeladim & Na'arim campers will have a field trip.

NEW!  TEEN LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

Camp JCC is proud to have a new direction for our Leader in Training (LIT) program this summer. Our aim is to cultivate traits of leadership for our rising 9th and 10th graders, certify LITs in Red Cross’ Babysitting and full CPR/First Aid/AED, and build connections within their community through service projects.   

The LIT program is seeking teens who desire to be in a camp setting.  Each week the teens will work on Friday Funday plans with our camp specialists utilizing the leadership trait they focused on that week. LITs will meaningfully engage with campers during our Friday Funday activities.

LIT’s must not forget that while they serve a role in promoting the quality of camp for our campers, they too deserve all the fun that Camp JCC has to offer. Weekly field trips, team building games, and relaxing pool time is just as much for the LIT’s as it is for our campers.  

Our program will consist of two sessions. Each session will last for three weeks. The first session is from June 19 - July 7, no camp on July 4. Our second session will be from July 17 - August 4. The hours of the LIT program are 8:45 AM to 4 PM.
