Zohar camping program
Zohar means brightness and splendor. The Zohar inclusive overnight camping program at JCC Maccabi Camp Kingswood is designed to meet the social and spiritual needs of Jewish adolescents with different learning styles. Zohar campers may have developmental disabilities, neurological, learning and/or mental health challenges.

Campers ages 11-15 participate in all camp-wide programs and daily events with the support and supervision of specially trained staff. The Zohar camper-to-bunk staff ratio is 2 to 1.

JCC Grossman Camp Special Needs program
The Special Needs program at JCC Grossman Camp provides the opportunity for children who have mild special needs to follow a regular camp program. Experienced counselors provide these campers with added structure and individualized support. There are specialized groups as well as the opportunity for inclusion. Children must be interviewed to assess whether JCC Grossman Camp can accommodate them appropriately.

For more information, visit the JCC Grossman Camp website or call (617) 244-5124.

Our other camps also accommodate children with Special Needs. Call each camp for more information.
