Winter Camp 2025 calls it a wrap

Camp JCC wrapped up another successful Winter Camp to conclude a fun-filled 2025. More than 45 children attended the camp during the two weeks of school holiday closures, enjoying the “Camp JCC Winter Lodge,” with each day featuring a special theme, including Snow Fun, Lanterns & Latkes, Ice Exploration, Wish It Was Summer, NYE Celebration, and Hot Cocoa and Pajamas. 

 Activities included crafts, games, sports, Camper’s Choice, STEM projects, daily free swim, and Israeli culture with Tidewater’s Shinshinim Noga Yaniv and Yarden Lahan. 

 As a part of the Camp JCC School Days Out program, myriad options were available for families – multi-day packages, as well as individual days – to attend. Since many school calendars are not aligned with each other, the option to customize schedules enabled campers to participate in class holiday parties, holiday travel plans, and the fun of Camp JCC.

 Camp JCC School Days Out is open to Kindergarteners through fifth graders. More information, pricing, and registration can be found at campjcc.org. Registration is open for Spring Break/Passover Break, which is already filling up.
