General Information
At the Mittleman Jewish Community Center, we provide quality programs that are age-appropriate, fun, and safe for ages 3-15. Our camp is imbued with a sense of Simcha (joy), Kehila (community), Ruach (spirit), and Kef (fun). Throughout all of our programs, we encourage discovery and self-expression. The MJCC welcomes everyone, regardless of religious affiliation.

It takes a great staff to make a great camp.
It takes a great staff to make a great camp. We carefully screen and interview candidates to ensure that we hire staff who are committed, hardworking, and enthusiastic role models for kids. All of our staff undergo a criminal background check and are certified in First Aid and CPR. All camp staff participate in our intensive, multi-day staff training. Many of our camp staff return to us year after year, and our campers are excited to see their favorite counselors each summer.
