    Text Box: Overheard at Camp 'We really get to sleep here at the JCC? That’s awesome!'

    Rain, rain, go away JCC kids want to play! This week's storms didn't stop us from having an awesome time. We had a science experiment with Miss Sally and we made our own rockets! K'Ton Ton and Yeladim friends alike have worked on camp songs and now everyone is ready to show off their song at Flag pole. We have made birthday hats and are ready for singing 'Happy Birthday" to America followed by cake! All of the friends and counselors are looking forward to more next week as we make ready for Teva (nature) week.

    Text Box: There's still time to register for session two! See Lauren or Kelly for more information.
