Camp Adventures + Friends Await!
School's done – it's time for fun!
At the JCC we believe camp must be boundless freedom from the everyday where kids can safely explore new experiences, stoke a sense of adventure and make life-lasting friendships.
Camp Seneca Lake is a premier Jewish overnight camp, located in the gorgeous Finger Lakes and Summer Day at the J is a classic day camp. See below for more details for both camps.
Spend your summer days with us!
