Electives 

Electives allow campers to discover new hobbies, develop new interests, learn new skills, and meet new friends, in addition to those in their group. Electives also provide a sense of independence and responsibility as campers are provided with the opportunity and flexibility to choose their own activity. Electives are led by our passionate and energetic specialists, who serve as role models, teammates, and facilitators for our campers. Specialists are trained to help campers get to know each other as they navigate this new independent camp experience.

PHL - Positive Healthy Living

PHL (Positive Healthy Living) is a new comprehensive initiative designed to foster a holistic approach to wellness, encompassing mind, body, and spirit. This innovative program teaches our campers the importance of fitness, healthy eating, and mindfulness. We use the combined expertise of the Kuriansky Fitness Center trainers/coaches and Day Camps@The J Culinary Arts specialists to create a nurturing environment where campers can develop a lifelong passion for healthy living. Each week, every camper attends two PHL classes, whether that is a boxing or Zumba class taught by fitness instructors, or a cooking or gardening class where they learn new recipes and understand where the ingredients came from.

New friends, memories, and adventures are waiting for you! Find your age group to get started and start exploring!
