Overnight Jewish summer camp is the highlight of the year for countless children and young people across North America. JWB Jewish Chaplains Council^®, a signature program of JCC Association of North America, with generous support from the Marcus Foundation, is proud to bring the joys and values of Jewish summer camp to children from Jewish military families by welcoming them into the JCC Movement’s network of overnight camps, the largest on the continent.

Operation Summer Camp: Supporting Military Families will ensure that Jewish children in military families stationed around the world can enjoy the many pleasures and benefits of JCC summer camp:

• A “home base” to which to return annually
• Year-round engagement opportunities and points of connection
• Friendships that transcend time and geography
• The opportunity to build a strong Jewish identity and a lifelong commitment to Jewish life
