About Camp JCC
For over 80 years, Camp JCC has proudly served the youth of our community. We believe that camp is more than just a fun way for kids to spend their summer; it is also a place where we can make a positive difference in their lives. Our goal is to create an exciting environment in which they have the opportunity to learn new skills, cooperation and teamwork, while forging friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.
At Camp JCC, we understand that the quality of each camper's experience is dependent on the quality of our staff. With that in mind, we make it a point to employ a diverse group of teachers, coaches, students, and specialists who come from varied backgrounds in education and child development. Counselors are selected based on experience, education and enthusiasm, and they participate in extensive pre-camp training.
