Jewish day camps are a significant point of entry into the Jewish community. They can foster a deep sense of identity and belonging, but that doesn't happen without year-round planning and careful attention to detail.
To operate safe and successful camps, camp professionals need ongoing guidance and education, from both experts and peers. With over 200 camps, 75,000 campers, 15,000 staff and a relatively affordable barrier to entry, day camps have the potential to engage thousands of Jewish children and their families.
JDCN connects Jewish day camps across North America, enabling peer to peer support, access to expertise and the ability to leverage the member benefits of a large association - without sacrificing their autonomy and unique Jewish mission.
