General Information

WELCOME TO... MJCC Summer Day Camp!

We provide quality programs that are age-appropriate, fun, and safe for ages 3 - 15.

From the moment you drop your camper off at the Mittleman Jewish Community Center to the moment they climb back in the car to go home at the end of the day, we make sure that a fun (and safe!) time is had by all.

MJCC Summer Day Camp is a high-energy and busy camp day with lots of activities and transitions. Through socialization, arts and crafts, sports, games, and imaginative play, we encourage growth, inspire confidence, and provide the framework for lasting memories and friendships.

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.

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.
