CJP news and events

It’s not too soon to think about summer 2026 at Jewish overnight camp 

Camp makes for so much more than just an incredible summer. Studies show that children who attend Jewish overnight camp have higher rates of synagogue affiliation and a stronger connection to Jewish life and Israel. Plus, kids discover all the magic of sleepaway camp — from building friendships to learning new skills to going on adventures to making memories that will last a lifetime. 

Professional learning and development for you and your team 

Looking for opportunities to “sharpen the saw” and invest in yourself and your team over the summer and beyond? CJP is compiling a number of virtual opportunities and resources to assist.
