About Camp J 

At Camp J, we encourage growth, 

inspire confidence, and create the 

framework for lasting memories 

and friendships. We provide quality 

programs that are age-appropriate, fun, 

and safe. Our camp is imbued with a 

sense of joy (simcha), community (kehila), 

spirit (ruach), and fun (kef). Throughout 

all our programs, we encourage 

discovery and self-expression. 

We carefully craft our camp programs to 

nurture your child’s interests, offering 

general and specialty programs, with 

age-appropriate activities focused on 

both fun and learning. There’s never a 

dull moment at Camp J!

MEET 

YOUR 

TEAM 

Your child’s care and well-being are 

our priorities. It takes a great staff to 

make a great camp. We carefully screen 

and interview candidates to ensure 

that we hire staff who are committed, 

hardworking, enthusiastic role models 

for kids. All camp staff participate in our 

comprehensive multi-day staff training. 

Many of our camp staff return to us year 

after year, and our low staff-to-camper 

ratio (no more than 10 campers for each 

counselor) ensures a safe and successful 

summer. 

We hope that your family will join us 

at Camp J this year and be part of the 

BEST. SUMMER. EVER.
