School may be out, but that's no reason to stop the fun! JCC vacation day and week programs give parents and kids and teens a structured yet flexible option September through June. Throughout the summer the JCC day, overnight and specialized camps and programs provide a fun, safe and nurturing Jewish environment for learning new skills, developing self-confidence, and making new friends. All are held to the high standards of quality in facilities, programming, care and supervision of the Jewish Community Centers of Greater Boston.

In addition to the major camping programs listed below, we have many vacation day and week programs, and specialized sports, arts and preschool camps at the JCCGB branches.
