What are some of your favorite summer camp memories? Was it the friendships made? Or a skill you learned? A talent you discovered? Or was it the mentorship you received from your favorite camp counselors?

For more than 75 years, the JCC Summer Camp has filled the long summer days for thousands of children with a variety of life-enriching activities, including archery, team-building on our ropes course, sports, and Jewish life. The J provides a high-quality, enriching experience for youth of ALL AGES and ALL ABILITIES. Sadly, there are members of our community who cannot afford the full cost of our American Camp Association (ACA) accredited camp, especially our specialized Inclusion Camp.

Every child deserves the chance to enjoy summer camp, regardless of their background or financial situation. For families with a child who has special needs, this challenge is even greater, as there are limited summer camp options available for children with special needs, and the costs are often prohibitive for many families.

The JCC takes pride in offering one of the few Inclusion Camps in the region and is dedicated to making it as accessible as possible for families in need. This commitment relies on the generosity of our J community and your support.

Currently, we have nearly 30 children with special needs on our waitlist who require financial assistance to attend. Help us make this summer memorable for each of these 30 children by contributing a gift!

⭐Thanks to our friends at Jersey Mike's of Longmeadow, every household that donates $50 or more will receive a FREE GIANT SANDWICH ($20 value)!

"Camp is where I learned about me; facing fears, trying new things, pushing my boundaries, and accepting myself." #campconfessions
