This was our first year that our daughter attended the JCC/Abrams camp in East Windsor. I must say that we are beyond thrilled with the experience you provided for our daughter. She tried many new activities, ate new foods, received swimming lessons, performed on stage and much more. We loved getting a note home every Friday (for the younger kids) that gave us more information about her experiences and successes so that we could be even more connected to the camp and have more conversations with our daughter.

At any and every age, the programs are stellar, the staff is remarkable, mature and super well-trained. Wendy and her team exude all the talent, know-how and ingenuity in the world and after many, many months of worry over Covid, my children are again emerging as their best senses of self, and I, as a mom, could not be...
Read moreMy rising 1st grader absolutely LOVED his first summer at the JCC! The wide variety in offerings - from activities to food to weekly themes - was quite impressive! And what an amazing transformation in our child’s swimming abilities and overall comfort in the water from swimming TWICE each day with trained lifeguards and swim instructors! All the directors and staff are extremely warm and caring, easy to communicate with, and dedicated to the program! They truly care about creating a supportive community and overall amazing experience for the campers. Our child can’t wait to return...
