Friday Night Shabbat: Camp Edition
Best for families with kids ages 12 & Under
Join us at the JCC for a fun and welcoming Friday Night Shabbat. This is a great chance for Camp at the J families to connect before the summer begins, and for kids to start meeting the friends who will be in their bunks. While this Friday Night Shabbat might be geared towards Camp at the J families, all are welcome and encouraged to attend.
We’ll gather with songs, blessings, and a shared meal, creating an easy, welcoming space to get to know one another. Whether you’re new to camp or a returning family, it’s a chance to walk into the summer already feeling connected.
We can’t wait to welcome Shabbat and kick off the camp season with you.
In partnership with Friday Night Shabbat and Camp at the J.
