Another successful winter break camp wrapped up last month, concluding a fun-filled 2023 for Camp JCC. Covering two weeks of private school and public school closures, campers enjoyed winter themed crafts, indoor games, STEM projects, culinary creations (such as making chocolate balls and trail mix), Israeli culture with community Shinshinim Maya and Naomi, weekly Shabbat celebrations, and free swim – all with friends and many favorite counselors from summer camp. Daily themes included igloos, polar bears, snowmen, snowflakes, and more.
As part of the Camp JCC School Days Out program, families were able to choose from registering for several packages or for any individual days. As many school calendars do not align with each other, this option to customize schedules enabled campers to enjoy their class holiday parties, holiday travel plans, and all the fun of Camp JCC.
Camp JCC School Days Out is open to everyone currently in kindergarten through fifth grade. More information, pricing, and registration can be found at campjcc.org. Registration is open for Spring Break and Passover break, and spots are already filling up.
