J Camp — A million adventures. One great camp.

Every day at J Camp is an opportunity to play, explore, and discover in a caring community full of ruach | spirit. For more than 70 years we’ve offered a day camp where children grow, connect, and thrive as they’re guided by values through a Jewish lens.

Open to all, campers enjoy indoor and outdoor activities, sports, swimming, singing, dancing, field trips, and more. ACA-accredited, J Camp is a safe, fun, and unforgettable summer experience.
