December 22, 2025 – January 2, 2026 Sandler Family Campus
Although the chill is here and summer may seem far away, Camp JCC fun is right around the corner with the return of Camp JCC Winter Camp.
Taking place over the winter break for local school districts, Camp JCC Winter Camp offers a safe, engaging, and fun experience for children currently in kindergarten through 5th grade. New and prospective campers, along with alumni from previous winters, springs, and summers are invited to join and enjoy engaging indoor adventures.
This winter, Camp JCC transforms into an inviting “Winter Lodge,” offering a cozy and warm indoor sanctuary for fun and adventure with old and new friends. This theme blends the cozy atmosphere of a cabin retreat with engaging activities focused on exploration, creation, and building community. Campers can expect to enjoy classic Camp JCC staple activities such as free swim indoors, gaga, crafts, games, Israeli culture with Tidewater’s Shinshinim, “Camper’s Choice” and more. Beyond that, campers can also look forward to seasonal twists on STEM activities and projects to make the “Camp JCC Winter Lodge” a destination.
Winter Camp also provides the chance for previous summer campers to reunite with some favorite and all-star counselors. There is nothing like seeing the excited expressions on both the campers’ and counselors’ faces as they make eye contact for the first time in months. It is a Camp JCC family reunion with lots of smiles and laughs.
Camp JCC Winter Camp will take place December 22, 2025 through January 2, 2026 (excluding December 25 and January 1). Families may select from a variety of registration options. Registration options for Camp JCC School Days Out include enrolling for any individual day, a 5-day bundle, or 10-day package.
