Highlights of Camp Jaycee
:Camp Jaycee offers many different activities to campers, such as, field trips, crafts, dance, singing, acting, sports, instructional and recreational swimming and counselor and leadership in training programs.
:Although Camp Jaycee is open to all campers, there are a few Jewish elements in the camp: the Schlihim and Shabbat. Each year, three Shlichim (counselors) from Israel join the camp as the Judaica specialists. They share a taste of Israel with the campers through music, dance, customs, and Hebrew. Every afternoon Friday ends with a camp-wide celebration of Shabbat, this includes singing and dancing and a screening of a slideshow photo montage of pictures from the week of camp.
