A Message from our Camp Director
The JCC Abrams Camp leadership and specialist team is comprised of diverse and highly-skilled teaching professionals that
work together to provide a safe, fun-filled creative camp experience.
Together with our five-star counselor staff, we work hard for each camper to thrive in a positive atmosphere so that they can reach
their fullest potential. Promoting every day values through a Jewish lense helps build
character, compassion and camaraderie through the entire camp.
ABRAMS AT A GLANCE
TOP AQUATICS PROGRAM WITH INSTRUCTIONAL & FREE SWIM TWICE A DAY
OVER 25 SPECIALIST AREAS
Creating a camp culture that is filled with compassion, kindness, excitement & creativity are just a few of the campership traits that we instill in each and every camper. Our primary goal is to foster life-long friendships to build self-confidence and watch them mature into caring people, as parents would hope for them to become.
Attending the JCC Abrams Camps is the single best gift that you can give your child. A chance to join a family, feel a sense of belonging to a place that they can call home. We look forward to taking your child on this empowering journey and thank you for giving us this privilege.
