I’ve recommended the JCC Summer Camp to a lot of people! Camp Ruach creates a fun, safe and memorable experience for campers.

The variety of activities is terrific and continues to expand and grow

with the kids. Matthew is very excited to go on trips this summer with his friends. It’s clear to the parents that Camp Ruach is continuing to

invest and grow to make this a great camp experience - the kids are

excited to come back year after year.
