the J

Hear the laughter... Feel the Sun... Smell the Campfire... Experience Camping at the J!

The J is synomynous with Camping -- whether for days when school is out, summer day camp or residential camp.  With two award-winning experiences, your child will have the time of their life this summer. 

Day Camps -- Discover the Spirit!

Day camps at the JCC are nearly as old as the J itself. We offer several ways for children to have the ultimate camp experience. There are one-, two-, and four-week sessions available at both JCC locations. There is our traditional camp, sports camp, arts camp, acting camp, gymnastics camp, specialty camps and more to choose from. One of our greatest features of camp is that swimming and/or swim lessons are available to our campers five days a week.

Overnight Camp at Sabra

Our residential camping program has a rich tradition of over 65 years. Camp Sabra is located at the Lake of the Ozarks and welcomes kids every summer who are entering third through tenth grades. Set in a natural and beautiful setting on the lake, Camp Sabra offers the opportunity for sailing, water skiing, tubing, outdoor sports, theatre, camp fires, challenge course and much more! Accredited by the American Camping Association, Camp Sabra meets the highest standards of health and safety. Caring and experienced staff are recruited and help our campers to have fun, learn new skills and develop life long friendships.

Vacation Days

When school is out... the J is in!  Spend your days off school at the J with friends and engage in a variety of activities at each location.  And if you can't get enough between 9:00 am - 3:00 pm, you can come early or stay late!
