Camp Jaycee is fortunate to have three Shlichim (counselors) from Israel that enrich camp by sharing Jewish customs, dancing, music, Hebrew, and more. Every week concludes with a camp-wide Shabbat celebration.

Safety First, and Always

Our staff is not only trained in delivering fun, engaging, and edifying activities to kids of all ages; they’re also safety experts! CPR trained life guards and camp administrative staff, along with our low staff-to-camper ratio, ensure Camp Jaycee is enjoyable and safe. Also, the JCC is located next door to the Northern Division of the San Diego Police and Fire Department.

Trained, Professional People Only
