camp jcc - the place to be
Choosing Camp JCC offers your child opportunities to build a strong Jewish identity, foster lasting friendships and create memories that last a lifetime.
THE CAMP JCC APPROACH
Every day at Camp JCC is packed full of activities, friendship, ruach (spirit) and adventure. While our campers rave that Camp JCC is “the best place ever” we know that spending a summer at Camp JCC provides opportunities to gain valuable skills. When campers earn their deep water bracelets, we know they are improving their swim skills while also increasing their self-esteem and confidence. When they try to cross the zip line for the first time, we know they are learning to take risks and make decisions for themselves. Camp JCC provides programs that bring out the best in every camper and grow their abilities (aka - super-powers) that they will use for the rest of their lives. Exciting camp themes are followed throughout the summer to allow your child to explore Jewish values and culture. All of this enables our campers to connect their camp experience to their growing Jewish identity.
