Another successful summer concluded last month for Camp JCC. More than 230 campers attended this year – from Hampton Roads, as well as from California, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Washington DC, and Richmond In addition, families relocating to Hampton Roads joined the camp community.
Activities were intentionally designed to create bonds and friendships for the campers and build camaraderie among the camp community. New highlights included boatbuilding and racing, a 90’s style live gameshow during Decade Week, an Olympic ceremony where campers adopted real or fictional countries, a foam party, a giant bubble party, and more – alongside beloved camp traditions.
What truly set Camp JCC summer 2024 apart was the caring, supportive environment and the strong sense of belonging everyone helped create.
