Inspiring Jewish Journeys at the
JCC Camps at Medford
When most people think about summer camp fun, they think about learning new skills such as swimming, arts n crafts and sports. However, at the JCC Camps at Medford, learning and experiencing Judaism is not only fun but it is a daily part of every camper's life. "The JCC Camps at Medford is more than a camp for Jewish children; we are proud to say that we are a Jewish Camp that incorporates Jewish Culture throughout our entire program," says Aaron Greenberg, Camp Director.
From the moment you pull up to the camp parking lot and see the sign for Welcome written in English, Hebrew and English transliteration, you know this is not just any day camp, but a day camp committed to Inspiring Jewish journeys. Campers are served daily lunches in accordance with the Jewish law of kashrut that requires that meat and milk not be eaten together. There isn't a camper who does not know that on dairy days, their cold treat will be ice cream and on meat days their cold treat is a non-dairy ice pop. At the Ropes Challenge Course a map of Israel is painted on the side of the 20 foot high climbing tower where campers start in Eilat, pass through Jerusalem, and end up in the Kinneret. Everywhere you look in camp from the ball fields to the swimming pools to the arts n crafts pavilions there are signs in both English and Hebrew identifying each location.
