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 Days at the J is a classic day camp. See below for more details for both camps.
Spend your summer days with us!
Grades K–8
Located on our main campus, we welcome all campers into a safe community of respect and inclusion where each child is encouraged to shine.
The days will be filled with arts + crafts, adventures, nature, drama, athletics, music, swimming, and playground time.
