Break Camps are BACK!

We’re bringing the magic of camp to the school year with Winter Break Camp, Mid-Winter Break Camp, and Spring Break Camp.

And this year, we’re adding even more days with our new School’s Out Break Days*:

🏫 Election Day
🍂 The day before Thanksgiving
⭐ MLK Jr. Day
🌷 Good Friday

A few extra days off school means a few extra days of camp, friends, and fun.

*School’s Out Break Days are available for Main Camp only.

Registration coming soon! For more information, email [email protected].

25 years later, we remember.

We remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, the first responders and heroes who stepped forward, and the strength and compassion that emerged in the days that followed.

Today, we pause to honor and remember all those affected by September 11, 2001.

Never forgotten. 🇺🇸

As we say L’hitraot (see you later) to the 2026 camp season, we’re looking back at some of the moments that made this summer so special. 🎶

Earlier this summer, our YAAP (Young Adult Adventure Program) campers visited the Detroit School of Rock and Pop, where they put their creativity to work and wrote an original song! 🎤🎸

We’re excited to share a few snapshots from their day, along with the song they created together. 🎵

That’s a wrap on our regular camp season! 🥹☀️

What a summer it has been. We’re so thankful for the Kehillah (community) we’ve created together and for all the campers, staff, and families who filled this summer with friendship, laughter, and so many memories. 💙

But we’re not saying goodbye just yet! Post Camp starts next week, and we have one more week of summer fun ahead. 🎉

L’hitraot, Bella! 💙

A big THANK YOU to our wonderful JOIN intern, Bella! This summer, Bella was the face behind our JCC Day Camps social media pages, capturing the fun and excitement of camp through photography, videos, and creative content. From documenting the everyday moments to sharing the highlights of summer with our community, Bella helped bring the camp experience to life for everyone following along.

All of us at The J wish you all the best on your next adventure! ✨
