Aliyah

Large and small group dynamics, decision-making abd collaboration – our Aliyah campers in rising grades 5 and 6 are stepping up and taking control over their own schedules as they select from a variety of electives in arts, STEM, nature, sports and more, and participate in daily enrichment activities and free swim. Aliyah campers also have one off-site field trip to local Jacksonville attractions each session. Field trip determinations will be made close to the start of the JCAmp season.

With morning songs, cheers, weekly themes, dress-up days, special events, and a Shabbat program every Friday, this traditional camp experience builds on our popular Sabra and HaBonim programs with a new twist. Giving children the opportunity to meet challenges and expand friendships, every camper will participate in activities designed to develop social skills.

Keeping our campers safe is our priority; therefore, we do not offer accommodations for children who cannot participate in water activities.

JCAmp runs from 9 am – 3:30 pm. Campers bring a dairy lunch and swimsuit daily. Snack is provided daily.

Within our programs, groups are designed to meet both each camper’s needs as an individual and the needs of the program. Placement is based on age, grade, elective choices and other factors to create well-balanced groups. While friendship requests are accepted, they are requests only and not guaranteed. Requests must be reciprocal and emailed to JCAmp@jcajax.org two weeks prior to your campers session to be considered in the placement process.
