Programs for Every Child

Choose the camping experience that is right for your child.  With a variety of camp offerings, ranging from a traditional outdoor camp to sports and arts camps, each camper will spend a fun-filled summer making new friends, building self esteem and creating life long memories. Each of our camps incorporates Jewish values and tradition in its programming.

Two Locations - Twice the Fun

The J's Summer Camp Experience is very unique because there are two locations in the St. Louis area – one in the Creve Coeur area and one in Chesterfield.  Each camp setting has different attributes that provide for a fun filled and enjoyable outdoor summer experience.

Creve Coeur area at the Staenberg Family Complex

Campers here enjoy one of the last preserved campgrounds in the area.  With over 40 acres of wooded trails, four lodges for camp groups, huge outdoor fields for sports and other activities and one of the area’s largest outdoor pool, the facilities at the Millstone Campus provide a true outdoor camping experience. You may view camp listings here.

Chesterfield area at the Marilyn Fox Building

Sitting on 11 acres in Chesterfield, campers have access to state-of-the-art facilities including the area’s  Aqua Climb® wall.  From the arts and crafts room and the new jGames Zone to a double court gymnasium, outdoor sports fields and Grand Slam batting cages, campers will enjoy spending their summer making memories and friends at this location.
