CAMP

An award-winning summer camp for ages 2–15 in Southwest Orlando

Summer 2015

Rosen JCCOrlando, FL

407.387.5330rosenjcc.org

Welcome to Camp J, where campers make memories and friendships that last a lifetime! Our camps encourage campers, from toddlers to teens,

to explore and develop their interests in a fun, supportive community. Camp J campers become more independent, experience being part of a community, and learn to interact with their peers while participating in a variety of summer activities.

Your child’s care and well-being are our priorities. Our staff members embody the friendly, energetic and caring environment that we create at Camp J, and our low staff-to-camper ratio (no more than 10 campers for each counselor) ensures a safe and successful summer.

We hope that your family will join us at Camp J this year and be part of another summer of fantastic memories...we know they’ll last a lifetime!
