Jcc Of Central New Jersey

Camp: Camp Yachad ROCKS! Our ROCK solid foundation of camping is what makes Camp Yachad stand above the rest. ROCKS are the values we embrace each and every day at camp and include Ruach (spirit), Opportunity, Community, Kindness and Strength. We serve over 860 campers ranging from 18 months to 14 years. Each summer we offer traditional day camp, travel camp, sports and performing arts programs and a counselor training program. Round-trip transportation is provided, and lunch is included for onsite programs. We are grounded in our Jewish values and infuse them in Camp Yachad programming, but we are also very proud to be a non-sectarian and diverse camp open to everyone in our community.

Community: Theres something about this place. For people whose goals are as modest as shooting hoops in a friendly environment or as ambitious as imparting important values to your children, the JCC is the ideal place to live up to them. Here they can become involved in community, meet up with old friends or connect with new ones. There are classes, events, a state-of-the-art Fitness Center with group exercise classes, league play for youth and adults, senior adult and cultural arts programming, indoor and outdoor pools and so much more for every age, interest and ability. As a Jewish Community Center, we are grounded in Jewish values and traditions and believe in fostering inclusion, creating connections and ensuring continuity for our community.

Other Notable Achievements:-In the wake of the horrific attack on Israel on 10/7/23, our JCC served as a place of safety, solidarity and healing, as we came together as community in several large gatherings, exemplifying why our organization is so vital.-In September 2023, we opened a licensed pre-school satellite at a neighboring synagogue, in an effort to address high-demand for our program, and waitlists due to lack of space on at our main campus.-Our Master Planning Task Force and Board of Directors engaged the services of an architectural firm to help us envision possibilities for expanding and enhancing our campus in order to serve our community today and tomorrow.
