Welcome to the Camp JCC family – the place to be!  Camp JCC is built on the importance of ruach (spirit) and kehilla (community) — in other words, fun in the sun with friends! Camp JCC programs build strong Jewish identities, foster lasting friendships and create memories that will last a lifetime!

A Jewish Experience
Camp JCC provides a Jewish camp environment where informal Jewish education is woven into the programs and community we create and each camper experiences.  Along with celebrating Shabbat, and a weekly Jewish theme, counselors and specialists incorporate Jewish values and cultural influence into their regular activities.

Camp Safety
Camp JCC is accredited by the American Camp Association and licensed by the Maryland State Department of Health and Mental Hygiene under the Maryland Youth Camp Act. Camp JCC meets or exceeds all of the health and safety guidelines set forth by the State of Maryland and Montgomery County. Click here for more information about Camp JCC safety.
