We are very excited that camp is just around the
corner and are thrilled to share with you the story of
the summer of 2015.
We pledge to do our best, to make this a GREAT
summer at JCC Summer Camp. We will foster respect
for all, encourage campers and staff to try new things
AND have fun.
We believe that ALL campers can participate, ALL
campers can succeed AND ALL campers can make a
new friend. These are Jewish and universal values
that we live at camp.
Love, Betsy and Big Mike
“The program is amazing. My son
comes home excited every day. He loves
his leaders and is getting some great
positive male role modeling. I couldn’t
have dreamed of something this great
when I was a kid.
