Amazing Staff at our Summer Childcare Near You

Believe it or not, most of our staff who oversees The J’s summer camp for kids and other youth programs were once J campers themselves. They have firsthand experience with how much a positive role model and a summer of great memories can impact a life.

Our skilled and trained staff creates a safe and positive environment children can flourish in, including a variety of fun activities that promote teamwork and socialization skills, which helps them embrace the spirit of J Camp.

Each summer, The J hires two Israeli young adults as Shlichim (emissaries). The Shlichim enrich the camp experience with Israeli-based cultural activities and special projects.

For questions regarding working at J Camp or Leaders-In-Training, please contact Director, Camps and School-Aged Services, Barry Birkmeyer.
